Sadly what Olivier suggests below doesn't work and generates the following
error message ......
Warning: Array to string conversion in d:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\..........\products.php on line 10
It seems that rtrim is converting the array created by @file into a string.
What I had been trying to do was to set up some code along the following lines
..........
$var1 = @file("mytext_file.txt");
//reads file, creates array $var1
for ($counter=0; Scounter < count($var1); $counter++ {
$var2[$counter] = rtrim($var1[$counter], "\n"); }
//attempts to loop through each item in the array, trim off the \n
and assign to the same item in new array $var2
I'm pretty sure the above doesn't work, though I don't know why. Think I'll go
and try it again just in case though as I don't see any obvious errors. There
must be a way of running rtrim against every item in an array, trimming the \n
and writing each trimmed element to a new array.
Any ideas Olivier ..... anyone ?
Blu.
