Identical to readfile(), except that file() returns the file in an array. Each element of the array corresponds to a line in the file, with the newline still attached. Upon failure, file() returns FALSE.
Notã: Each line in the resulting array will include the line ending, so you still need to use trim() if you do not want the line ending present.
Notã: If you are having problems with PHP not recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, you might want to enable the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option.
You can use the optional use_include_path parameter and set it to "1", if you want to search for the file in the include_path, too.
<?php // Get a file into an array. In this example we'll go through HTTP to get // the HTML source of a URL. $lines = file ('http://www.example.com/'); // Loop through our array, show html source as html source; and line numbers too. foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) { echo "Line #<b>{$line_num}</b> : " . htmlspecialchars($line) . "<br>\n"; } // Another example, let's get a web page into a string. See also file_get_contents(). $html = implode ('', file ('http://www.example.com/')); ?> |
Notã: As of PHP 4.3.0 you can use file_get_contents() to return the contents of a file as a string.
In PHP 4.3.0 file() became binary safe.
Indicaþie: Cu această funcție se poate folosi URL-ul ca nume de fișier, dacă a fost activată opțiunea "fopen wrappers". Vezi fopen() pentru mai multe detalii.
