[PHP]Cannot output the same data from text file in PHP
Hi Folks,
I have a written a script in PHP which outputs the result from a text file.
The PHP script is as follows:
?php
$alldata = file(result.txt);
echo tabletrtd;
foreach($alldata as $line_num = $line) {
echo $line.br;
}
echo/td/tr/table;
?
I have attached the result.txt file. However the output of the script is as
follows:
Query: 1 atggcaatcgtttcagcagattcgtaattcgagctcgcccatcgatcctcta 60
Sbjct: 1 atggcaatcgtttcagcagattcgtaattcgagctcgcccatcgatcctcta 60
which is not exactly as in the result.txt file in that the pipelines are
displaced.
Any pointer to this problem shall be appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Not a PHP problem, but a HTML problem:
First, HTML compresses white space into just one space, so all of those leading
spaces on line 2 are lost.
Second, you are (probably) displaying using a proportionally-spaced font, so the
narrow pipeline characters take up less width than the letters.
So you need something like:
?php
$alldata = file(result.txt);
echo tabletrtd style='white-space: pre; font-family: monospace;';
foreach($alldata as $line_num = $line)
{
echo $line.\n;
}
echo/td/tr/table;
?

You could even make it shorter, if you don't need the line numbers anyway:
pre
?
echo nl2br(file_get_contents('file.txt'));
?
/pre

Re: [PHP]Cannot output the same data from text file in PHP
as far as i know you just send an email to:
php-general-unsubscr...@lists.php.net and then reply to the confirmation
- its a standard mailing list which you subscribed to at some point, no
profiles or such like.

Ok, I think we are almost there. First I was given php-general-unsubscr...@lists.php.net but that bounced back. Second, I use MS outlook ( 03 or 07) which does not accurately display headers, probably ( in my case at all) because it's audience is less savvy than this audience, and too much information can be dangerous.
