PHP Code:


function file_get_contents($file)
{
    $file = file($file);
    return !$file ? false : implode('', $file);
}

$hostdata = file_get_contents("http.conf");
$datasplit= split("\n", $hostdata); 


I am trying to read the data froim a file and the example presented below is a line in the file that is not working bacially when ever i try to get aline that has <> in it, it doesnt work

I am usig the function listed to get the data from a file however when ever the function reaches variable that has < or > it skipps over the data with in those two backets. so let say i have

# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about

it will output

# See for detailed information about

and if i have

# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ for detailed information about

it will output

# See

As you notice it seem like when ever anything is within the brackers <> it totally cuts it out of the string.

Please i am asking if someone can give me a suggestion of how to fix this problem thank you very much.

I guess that if you right click your browser and select View Source then you will see that it works quite fine.

what do you mean ?

you have to replace < and > with &lt; and &gt; respectively.

what mtishetsky means is that the part of the line is printed out ... only your browser understands it as HTML code and does not display.

good luck.

hahahaha how did i miss that thank alot guys. what i wanted to do in the end was to write the data to a file when i did that it works fine thanks alot

you're welcome rcubes85, not seeing the simplest solution happens a lot to me too.
