General PHP Help
#1

Hello firends,
When i try to get the content of an external file using file() (preferred) i cant get the entire content…

The problem is the file isnt that big (< 30 lines, 4kbs) ill give the example:

the entire file using file_get_contents():

I didn’t see anyone on internet talking about this problem (small files)

i can’t even use
[php]$file file(‘external_file’);
echo $file[25];[/php]
Cuz it cant read the line 25

Something i can do on my php.ini?

Very thankful, Chinchila.

Hi there,

Strange issue, but out of interest try this:
[php]$filecontents = implode("\n",file(‘thefile.txt’));
echo $filecontents;[/php]

(oh and check the page source to make sure it’s definitely not outputting all the characters - or output it into a textarea element so it doesn’t try to read any tags)

#3

$filecontents = implode("\n",file(‘thefile.txt’));
echo $filecontents;

Incomplete data too :confused:

#4

try to read file without file().

you can open the file with fopen and use fread.

The limitation are in apache config.

#5

I used everything
fopen
fread
file
file_get_contents

@kikesv
So I can’t change it no php.ini?

Is it a big deal for the servers healthy? Because this is a paying host (justhost.com), and if it is a simple task i will complain about that…

#6

Has you go a BD?

What are you thinking to do with this data?

The problem is memory, but you can write on a temporary table in a bd an use data from this…

#7

I already got some functions using curls to resolve this but i really want to fix this problem from the “root”

It is a paying host… it should be working right?

Limiting small files like that is wrong in a paying host
