[PHP] search a text file
I've got a bit of a task where I need to poll a text file for several lines of text which is buried deep within the file. These lines change each day, but the text surrounding them do not. Is it possible to extract these lines of information based on the text surrounding them? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sure. preg_match() would be one way. -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] In my attempt to read from a text file...
I'm trying preg_match with no success.
I'd like to search inside the text file for my name, then pull all the info
from that point till the next name which is Fred.
The text file would be called names.txt
So I'm trying to
preg_match("Peter",names.txt,$myname)
then do the same for Fred, and grab all the stuff in between.
Is this the right way to do this? Or is there something easier?
How can I search names.txt? Can I load it into a variable somehow?
Please help

RE: [PHP] search a text file
Very good info, but this text is located in a text file. How can I
reference it this way?

Probably. You could check the manual's page on preg_match (the user
annotations often have very useful code examples), phpbuilder.com,
hotscripts.com, etc. A quick, oversimplified example:
Let's say your complete text was (no laughing now ) "Mary had a little
lamb, its fleece was white as snow." where "Mary had a " and "fleece was
white as snow." are always consistent but whatever's happens to be the
portion of the text between them is what you want to extract. You could do
something like--
$search_string="Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow.";
$status=preg_match("/^Mary had a(.*)(?=fleece was white as
snow.)$/i",$search_string,$match_text);
In which case, $status would evaluate to true if a (case-insensitive) match
was found, and $match_text[1] would contain " little lamb, its ".

Hello,
This is the URL of the link that I use.
http://www.sitename.com/pizzeria.php3?pizzeria=aldentes
Here is the code from the script.
$file_path = "menus";
$file = $pizzeria . ".pdf";
$full_file = $file_path."/".$file;
$filesize=filesize($full_file);
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
header("Content-type: application-download");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$fn=fopen($full_file,"r");
fpassthru($fn);
fclose($fn);
exit;
I tried it and it did not work. When I click on the link it shows
"pizzeria.htm"
in the File Name field. Any other suggestions.
Regards,
Edgar

Hello,
I do that with this piece of code. ( This will close the window, so open a
new one and put this code inside)
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fileName\"");
header("Content-type: application-download");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$fn=fopen($FileName,"r");
fpassthru($fn);
fclose($fn);
exit;
