Hi If $line is == '', you will get an error. Try @split('|', $line), or add a test for empty lines like if (empty($line)) continue;
if you var_dump($line);, you'll probably see that there is an empty line in members.txt Regards, Greg -- phpDocumentor http://www.phpdoc.org "Richard Kurth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Way does this give me this error > > Warning: REG_EMPTY: in emailusers.php on line 52 > > > $lines = file("data/members.txt"); > foreach($lines as $line){ > list ($logged_email,$logged_title,$logged_first_name,$logged_last_name) = split("|", $line); > if ($logged_email==$email) {print "<center>This email has already been registered.</center>"; > exit;} > } > > > this is what is in the members.txt file > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]|Mr.|Richard|Kurth|1046828998|03/04/2003 > > -- > Best regards, > Richard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
