I want copy a file until a string and there finish the copy. I do it but it isn't running I don`t know wich is passing.
$fpw=fopen("planilla_horas.zip", "w");

$fpr = fopen ("planillahoras.htm", "r");
$StrLimit=" <td class=xl29>Apellido y Nombre:</td>";
$buffer="Inicio";

echo"$buffer";
while ((strcmp($buffer,$StrLimit)))
{

$buffer = fgets($fpr, 4096);

fputs ($fpw,"$buffer");

}
fclose ($fpr);
fclose ($fpw);
Thank,
Hernàn.

Simple. Here is from PHP manual:

"Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, on a newline (which is included in the return value),..."
You didn't include new-line char.

I suggest you to change your while:

while (strstr($buffer, $StrLimit))

or

while (ereg($StrLimit, $buffer))

or

while (strcmp(chop($buffer), $StrLimit))
With ereg(), you have to be carefull about special characters (square brackets, plus,...).

Hope this helped,

Vedran

No problem. Just curious: which solution did you use in the end?

[hernan]

I use it:
while (!strstr($buffer, $StrLimit))
{

$buffer = fgets($fpr, 4096);

fputs ($fpw,"$buffer");

}
Thanks Vedran
