reading the correct line sequence from a txt file

Is there any reason why i am NOT reading each invididual line from a
txt file in this script...e.g i keep on getting 2 lines printed outed
when there are clearly
four lines in the txt file.

also, is my counter right here?

<? php
$listf = fopen ("./member.txt", "r");
# read the file
$line = fgets($listf, 4096);


while(($data = fgetcsv($listf,1024,"|"))!=FALSE)
{
$count++;
$duserid=trim($data[0]);
$dname=trim($data[1]);



list ($duserid,$dname,$actions) = split("\|",$line);
$line = chop($line); //chops space out of program

$actions= "<a href=\"./delete_member.php?record_id=29\">Delete</a|
<a href=\"./edit_member.php?record_id=29\">Edit</a></td>";
$data = fgetcsv($listf, 1024);
echo "<tr><td>$duserid</td><td>$dname</td><td>$actions<td></tr>";

}

fclose($listf);
?>

[...]I'm not very familiar with fgetcsv() but you appear to be reading two
lines for each iteration. Which means that if the file has "n" lines,
you'll only end up with "n/2" iterations of the while loop.

re: reading the correct line sequence from a txt file

Ok well your suggestion has sort of fixed the problem but know it is
like reading
every 3 of 4 lines, instead of 2 of 4 lines.

<?php
$listf = fopen ("./member.txt", "r");
# read the file
$line = fgets($listf, 1024);

while(($data = fgetcsv($listf,1024,"|"))!=FALSE)
{
$count++;
$duserid=trim($data[0]);
$dname=trim($data[1]);

list ($duserid,$dname,$actions) = split("\|",$line);
$line = chop($line); //chops space out of program

$actions= "<a href=\"./delete_member.php?
record_id=29\">Delete</a| <a href=\"./edit_member.php?
record_id=29\">Edit</a></td>";
//$data = fgetcsv($listf, 1024);
echo "<tr><td>$duserid</td><td>$dname</td><td>
$actions<td></tr>";

}

fclose($listf);
?>

may be a do while loop might fix the problem....

Big problem now it appears that
it appears to be copying the 1st line
of the txt file to web page 3 times...

programming kirjoitti:The file is read here the first time, and the filepointer moves from row
1 to row 2. the data is however discared.
Now it starts reading the file from the second line, and so on... That's
why the first line is not printed.

Just remove the extra fgets from the beginning.

programming kirjoitti:You read the first line to $line with fgets, and the next lines to $data
in the while-condition. Inside the loop you use $line.

Stop being so stupid!

Did you do ANY debugging on this yourself? Do you have ANY idea what
the functions you're using do?
