include part of a text file

[brianwalker]

hello all.

I have a text document that stores text for use in a flash movie. I'm
also using PHP to displace the same text on another page. However the
text document includes 2 tags for use by the flash movie... title= and
&content= ... see text file at end of post ....

when i use the php command <?php include ("info.txt") ; ?> it also
displays those tags. Is there any way to use php to just display what
apprars after the &content= in my text file.

I can't remove the tag begause it is required for the flash file
elsewhere on the site.

Assuming "&content=" isnt anywhere else in the txt file, you could use
PHPs explode function like so...

<?php
$textfile= "/usr/local/something.txt";
$handle = fopen($textfile , "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($textf ile));
fclose($handle) ;

$content = explode("&conte nt=", $contents);
print($content[1]);
?>

fopen function..

fread function...

explode function...

There's no need to use include() for anything other than PHP files. If
you just want to output the contents of the file, use readfile()
instead.

Yes:

list(, $content) = explode('&conte nt=', file_get_conten ts('info.txt')) ;

echo $content;
