That's because $fp is a file POINTER, not the actual contents of the
file. You might have been thinking of the file() function, which
sucks the entire contents of the file into an array...very wasteful,
if all you need are the first few lines. What you want here is:
$fp = fopen("meh.txt","r");
for($i=0;$i<2;$i++)
{
print fread($fp, 4096);
}
or
unset($FileArray);
$fp = fopen("meh.txt","r");
for($i=0;$i<2;$i++)
{
$FileArray[] = fread($fp, 4096);
}
foreach($FileArray as $line)
{
print $line;
}
The second parameter in the fread function is the maximum line
length; normally, that would be set to ma number larger than the
maximum line length you're likely to encounter (unless you have long
lines, and only need the first few characters of that line). See:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php
and
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php
Also, the line
print "$fp[$i]";
isn't likely to work the way you expect; if $fp was an array, you'd
get something like
Array[0]
Array[1]
Array[2]
as the printout, since the $i, in quotes, wouldn't be interpreted as
an array index. Use something like
print $fp[$i];
or
print "Some text here ".$fp[$i]." more text here";
instead.
