[PHP] Simple reading a file and extract fields

[Ronald Wiplinger]

I got a larger file which consists of lines with a defined length of 56
characters. Each line ends with a line feed (0A),

>From each line I want one field from position 1 ~ 5 and field 2 from
position 7 ~ 46.

I tried:

$myFile = "plaiso";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theDataLine = explode("\n",fgets($fh));

echo "Field1    Field2<p>";     // headline

for($i=0;$i<count($theDataLine);$i++){

    $Field1 = substr($theDataLine[$i], 0, 5);
    $Field2 = substr($theDataLine[$i], 7, 46);
    echo "$Field1 &nbsp; &nbsp; $Field2";
}

It prints only the headline and the first record.

What do I miss?

bye

Ronald
