Hello Kelly,
Yes I noticed the variable after I sent the message
Now I have it like this. But If I add something that is in the file it
does not find it.
$fd = fopen ("virtusertable", "r");
$variable= "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$count = 1;
while(feof($fd) == false) {
$line_text = fgets($fd, 2048);
if ($variable == trim($line_text)) {
echo "Match at line number $count";
break;
}
++$count;
}
