strcmp problem

[juicy]

I done a program to read text file, where content is

#Header#
name: Juicy
age: 25
@Header@
#Text#
user text here
@Text@
#End#
tel
fax
@End@
eof

And I read the text file

$filename = "/usr/local/file/rpt.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename , 'r');

$content = fgets($fp);
while(strcmp($c ontent,"@End@") <>0) {

$content = fgets($fp);

if(strcmp($cont ent, "#Text#")== 0){ //not match
$strPretext .= $content;
}//end if
//end while


I should get the data from #Text# until one line before @End@, but I get
nothing, I found that the strcmp for #Text# always not match when it read
through whole file.


I cant find out what goes wrong. Please advise.

Thanks.

Re: strcmp problem

Some observations: When reading a file you can use the funciton
feof() to check if a file pointer has reached the end of file marker.
This is useful when looping thru a file's contents.
I dont believe the inital fgets is needed -- just grab the first
line in the loop.
Also, instead of using the binary string comparision function use
the == operator and trim $contents to remove any uneeded whitespace
chars.
I'm not sure if the following listing is what you're looking for
as $strPretext only contains "#Text#" once the code is executed but i
think it's a step in the right direction.
If you're looking for the line after the "#Text#" line just do
another $content = fgets($fp); (line read) inside the if stmnt.



$filename = "/usr/local/file/rpt.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename , 'r');
$strPretext = "";

while( !feof($fp) ) {
$content = fgets($fp);
if( trim($content) == "#Text#") {
$strPretext .= $content;
}
}

echo $strPretext;
