I imagine that since you've suppressed the errors with the @, you will need to remove this to give us any useful information. One other thing, has your file been saved with the appropriate line breaks for your server? In some cases, a file may have DOS/Windows or Macintosh line breaks which are not \n but rather \r\n and \r respectively IIRC. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

Just use file(), this is most appropriate for reading file line by line. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php On Monday, July 1, 2002, at 05:17 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have trend this but it does not work properly $fp = @fopen(file.txt,r); $line = explode(\n,$fp); $valueC = $line[0]; $valueST = $line[1]; @fclose($fp); What error messages are you getting?

Here's one way assign each line: ?php $file_loc = D:\\web\\bev\\file.txt; $whattoread = fopen($file_loc, r); $country = fgets($whattoread, 4096); $state = fgets($whattoread, 4096); $city = fgets($whattoread, 4096); $company = fgets($whattoread, 4096); $division = fgets($whattoread, 4096); $url = fgets($whattoread, 4096); $email = fgets($whattoread, 4096); echo country is $countrybr; echo state is $statebr; echo city is $citybr; echo comapny is $companybr; echo division is $divisionbr; echo url is $urlbr; echo email is $emailbr; fclose($whattoread); ?
