Hello,
I want to use a script so it will display on the webpage what is in a text document. I only want the first line and i am using this script.
<?php
$fp = fopen("stored/no6.txt", "r")
$data = fread($fp, 1);
fclose($fp);
echo $data;
?>
It comes up with this error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/randomsh/public_html/Submit.php on line 399"
and line 399 is this line: $data = fread($fp, 1);
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Chris Harris

The code that you posted is just reading the first character if you want to read the first line try this

PHP Code:

function readfirstline($file){
   $fp = @fopen($file, "r");
   $firstline = fgets($fp);
   fclose($fp);
   return $firstline;
} 


I retrived the code from http://us2.php.net/fgets Check this site too when looking for ways to use function in php or any site that has the php manual

just in case you don't know the $file stands for the file path

so

PHP Code:


$file = 'home/test/go/try.txt';

readfirstline($file);
