[thelist] PHP help with fopen (I think)

Hi Tara,


I'm not a PHP wizard, so I can't help you with the tricky 'explode'
functions.

But if all you are trying to do is read in the lines of a text file,
this is working for me on a page or two:

<?php
	$arrText = file("Name_of_File.txt");
	for ($i = 0; $i < count($arrText); $i++) {
		echo("<tr>$arrText[$i]"."&nbsp;"."</tr>");
	}
?>

My guess is that if you only want the first line of your text file - you
could kill the loop and just echo("$arrText[0]");


HTH,

RonL.

Okay, so I've got this page (call it "Home"). I want the Home page to
open
another page (call it "text"). I want the Home page to take the first
sentence on the text page (not a whole HTML page just text), and put it
into
the middle of the Home page.
