I'm trying to while loop using a flat txt file and write the values out
into a form. I have 50-58 values to echo. Am I going to have to echo
each line of html. Or is there a way to make this work between the php.
Right now it wants to write the whole table over and over. Is my logic
screwed up? I am not a programmer as such but can get by. I have
something like this which is an abbreviated version. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

If your input file looks something like this:

if( ! ($fd = fopen($filename , "r")) ) {

while( $line = fgets($fd, 80) ) {
$values = explode(',', $line); // assumes comma-separated values

<form method="post" action="precmlo g.php">

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Yes I can already do that ie.
$values[1]...[2]...[3], and no the file is not comma delimited. It is
delimited by a new line as some of the values are text area inputs. What
I want to be able to do is have the while iterate to the next value so
that any changes in the text file or the originating form that writes
the text file will not require me to go into this one and change all the
numbers.

As long as only your fields are separated by the carriage-returns you
will be all right. If someone sneaks a carriage-return into the text
fields, you will lose your synchronization with the input file. (i.e.
you need to have some trusted form of delimiting the fields)
If you want to use carriage-returns, just replace the while and explode
lines with something like:
while(true) {
if( ! ($line1 = fgets($fd, 80)) ) break;
if( ! ($line2 = fgets($fd, 80)) ) break;
if( ! ($line3 = fgets($fd, 80)) ) break;
and then $value[0] becomes $line1, etc.
BTW the 80 can be replaced with whatever your maxlength is for your text
fields.

$i++ should be INSIDE the while loop to have effect. Now you don't increase
it so it keeps writing the same form over an over again because $i gets no
bigger and therefore it's always less than 60 thus it becomes an infinite
loop.
fix
<?
} // Loop stops here, $i is never reached.
$i++;
?>
to
<?
$i++; // Now it's inside the loop and is incremented
}
?>
Or even better, use a for-loop instead. That way you'll do all the necessary
loop-control in one logical place:
for($i=0; $i<=60; $i++) { ....
