Hi,
I am trying to get a total value of orders from a file. The file has various fields
separated by '|'. It is the 15th field I am trying to total. At the moment I am
trying to search each character but it times out as the file is quite large - is there
a more efficient way of doing this.
Thanks - Here is the script:
<?php
function total($filename)
{ $totalfile=16;
$total=0;
$vartemp="";
$counterbeforeend=0;
$counter=0;
if(!$file=fopen($filename,"r"))
{
echo"Could not open the file named '$filename'";
}
else
{
while((!feof($file))&&($total<1000))
{
$char=fgetc($file);
if(strcmp($char,"|")==0)
$counter++;
if($counter==($totalfile+1))
{
$vartemp=$vartemp.$char;
if((strcmp($char,".")==0)||($passed==1))
{
$counterbeforeend++;
$passed=1;
}
if($counterbeforeend==3)
{
$total=$total+$vartemp;
$passed=0;
$counter=0;
$counterbeforeend=0;
$vartemp="";
echo"$total<BR>\n";
}
}
else if($counter==$totalfile)
{
$counter++;
}
}
}
return($total);
}
?>

<BODY>
<?
$total1=total("G&V_orderslist.txt");
echo"$total1";
?>
</BODY>
