fgets Gets line from file pointer &reftitle.description; stringfgets resourcehandle intlength Gets a line from file pointer. &reftitle.parameters; handle &fs.validfp.all; length Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, or a newline (which is included in the return value), or an EOF (whichever comes first). If no length is specified, it will keep reading from the stream until it reaches the end of the line. Until PHP 4.3.0, omitting it would assume 1024 as the line length. If the majority of the lines in the file are all larger than 8KB, it is more resource efficient for your script to specify the maximum line length. &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by handle. If there is no more data to read in the file pointer, then &false; is returned. If an error occurs, &false; is returned. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 4.3.0 fgets is now binary safe &reftitle.examples; ]]> &reftitle.notes; ¬e.line-endings; People used to the 'C' semantics of fgets should note the difference in how EOF is returned. &reftitle.seealso; fgetss fread fgetc stream_get_line fopen popen fsockopen stream_set_timeout
