I used the following code that Paul suggested, but it didn't reverse my content.
The file I would want to have the content reversed is as attached. Chinese characters is in the file so... Suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Novitski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 2:58 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] .DAT file with PHP At 10:27 AM 3/8/2006, Rory Browne wrote: >$filename = "filename.txt"; >$file_content = join("\n", array_reverse(file($filename))); echo >$file_content; Rory, I think you've got the logic right. Tangentially, however, I recommend that you break it out into separate statements and not throw multiple functions into the same statement -- it's hard to proofread, it's hard to pinpoint where errors occur, and it's next to impossible to insert echo statements to debug the process. Also for ease of debugging & maintenance, I recommend indicating the type of each variable with a prefix (a=array, s=string, etc.): $sFilename = "filename.txt"; $aFile_content = file($sFilename); $aFile_reverse = array_reverse($aFile_content); $sDisplay_content = join("\n", $aFile_reverse); echo $sDisplay_content; I don't think PHP will "care" whether it's broken out or not -- internally it's having to create temporary variables on the fly to store incremental values -- but your future self and other folks reading your code will thank you for it.
