Quotes and PHP need help!!

[Owmen]

Hi felow mates!!

Hows the weather, the wife and all?

Well hers the thing

http://quotes.assassinscm.com a friend of mine owns that site, and what he has in mind is this:

for someone to view the quotes has to click on the text link, what he whanted to do was to make a simple PHP code that would get the quotes of the text and display them on the page, being that this way the ppl didnt had to click on the text to view the quotes. He said that he made an Include but they were all mixed up and not "line by line". Basicly the code has to get the quotes of the .txt and display them on the page line by line.

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers and thanx alot!

I found a way of doing just what he whanted but i have yet, another problem.

What i did was the Include again, but this time iv chanded the quote.txt file and made HTML code inside to insert <br><br> after each line so that evrything looks nice and pretty, the damm problem is that the boot has to had after each quote ppl make on the IRC channel <br><br> to the end of the frase automaticly..now this envolves C++ since the bot was "ritten" for UNIX systems but a Windows port was also concidered, i compiled it and works..but i need the piece of code that makes the boot had that to the end of the frases.

The bot code is here http://darksun.com.pt/mbot/

Thanx for any help is apreciated!

Why not code something like:

<?php
$quote_file = fopen ("quotes.txt","r");

while(!feof($quote_file)) {
  $line = fgets($file,1024);
  print($line."<br>\n");
}
fclose($quote_file);
?>

You don't need to do that, leave it as newlined file ends.

$quotes=file_get_contents("quotes.txt");
$arr = split(PHP_EOL, $quotes);
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($arr); $i++)
{
  echo $arr[$i]."<br>".PHP_EOL;
} 

Almost the same, but more portable, and faster than fopen/fgets.

Well, PHP_EOL is new as of PHP 4.3.10, so it's probably not in your install. You can define it with:

define('PHP_EOL', '\n'); // Unix end of line 

or

define('PHP_EOL', '\r\n'); // Windows end of line 

depending on which OS your host runs. Also note once you've built the array, you could randomly pick a quote to display.

Ah. Didn't know that. I just coded mine after reading the PHP manual for about 2 minutes (hint...hint...hint.... )
