Hi all,

I'm just learning PHP here. I have a page in PHP. On other side, I have place a welcome.txt on same running folder. I want to read all line of code include the breakline and display on table but I got error. Below are my code in PHP:

PHP

<td width="600" bgcolor="#213A3F">
<?php
$file = "/content/welcome.txt";
$f = fopen($file, "r");
while ( $line = fgets($f, 1000) ) {
print $line;
}
?>
</td>

But and error display when I running my page:

VB

Warning: fopen(/content/welcome.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\solaire\home.php on line 34

Warning: fgets() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\solaire\home.php on line 35

Can someone please find my problem here and tell me what I've done wrong? I need guidance.

Also, I appreciate if someone can give me link website for PHP code, CSS and something like learning website development.

Consider that content folder is in the same directory as your php file, then:

PHP

$myfile = fopen("file.txt", "r") or die("Unable to open file!");

echo "<table>";
while(!feof($myfile)) {
  echo "<tr><td width='600' bgcolor='#213A3F'>";
  echo fgets($myfile) . "<br>";
  echo "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
fclose($myfile);

Hope for better coding :)

just change the path to where the file is located
for example
my php file and txt file located in the same directory
This script will return the each line as row in the table
<?php

$file="file.txt" ;
$f=fopen($file,"r");
while($line=fgets($f))
{
echo "";
}
?>

$line

Assuming your content folder is in the same directory as your php file, then:

PHP

<?php
$file = "./content/welcome.txt";
$f = fopen($file, "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
// read file line by line until the end of file (feof)
while(!feof($f))
{
  echo fgets($f)."<br />";
}

fclose($f);
?>
