Tips and Notes
Note: This function is slow and should not be used on large files. If
you need to read one character at a time from a large file, use fgets() to read
data one line at a time and then process the line one character at a time with
fgetc().
Example 1
<?php
$file = fopen("test2.txt","r");
echo fgetc($file);
fclose($file);
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Example 2
Read file character by character:
<?php
$file = fopen("test2.txt","r");
while (! feof ($file))
{
echo fgetc($file);
}
fclose($file);
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Hello, this is a test file.
