Hi Shawn,

Your code looks cleaner then mine so i tried it and got the last entry  
in the txt file printed twice.

Remove the if statement and just print out $tmp. The while loop is going
over one extra time than you need, and on that final iteration, $tmp is
an empty string. The if statement only changes $name if $tmp is empty,
so it leaves it as it was, hence you getting the last line printed
twice. Printing out an empty string in this example won't do anything,
and the if statement is also pretty useless as it just copies the value
to another variable on a condition that will only result in the
side-effect you've noticed.

Re: [PHP] string concatenation with fgets

2009-11-30 Thread aurfalien

Hi Ash,

Actually I need the if because the code will print out an empty line  
and add sometext to it.


So without the if check for an empty line, at the end of the loop I'll  
get sometext.  For example, if the file I am processing called  
somename.txt has


a
b
c

in it.  I'll have;

asometext
bsometext
csometext

but w/o the if check, I'll also have

sometext

as well.

Then put the print statement inside the if, not the assignation,
otherwise you will always get that last line!

Hi,

Sorry, I was incomplete :)

I would like;

asometext
bsometext
csometext

Basically, I would like to add whatever text to the end of what I find  
in the file.


So if the file contains

a
b
c

I would like;

asometext
bsometext
csometext...

Re: [PHP] string concatenation from array

2003-08-14 Thread Jonathan Pitcher
Micah,

The  sign in PHP (to the best of my knowledge) does not concatenate.

Use a . instead.   See below.

$wresult = ;

foreach ($search_string as $word_result){
$wresult .= $word_result;
}
That should work for you.

 OK let's say in variable $search I have the string color (without the

 now I want to be able to refer to the variable $color in my code.

 How in gods name do I do this.  I guess somehow I have to combine a $

Feel free to trim all the ireelevant stuff from your posts :-)

Try $$search or ${color} depending on exactly what you want to do. You 
might want to have another read through the Variable variables section of 
the documentation to clarify this.

Whoops meant to delete the old message.  Doh.  Variable variables eh?  A
