FGETSS(3) 1 FGETSS(3) fgetss - Gets line from file pointer and strip HTML tags SYNOPSIS
string fgetss (resource $handle, [int $length], [string $allowable_tags]) DESCRIPTION
Identical to fgets(3), except that fgetss(3) attempts to strip any NUL bytes, HTML and PHP tags from the text it reads. PARAMETERS
o $handle -The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen(3) or fsockopen(3) (and not yet closed by fclose(3)). o $length - Length of the data to be retrieved. o $allowable_tags - You can use the optional third parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped. RETURN VALUES
Returns a string of up to $length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by $handle, with all HTML and PHP code stripped. If an error occurs, returns FALSE. Example #1 Reading a PHP file line-by-line <?php $str = <<<EOD <html><body> <p>Welcome! Today is the <?php echo(date('jS')); ?> of <?= date('F'); ?>.</p> </body></html> Text outside of the HTML block. EOD; file_put_contents('sample.php', $str); $handle = @fopen("sample.php", "r"); if ($handle) { while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fgetss($handle, 4096); echo $buffer; } fclose($handle); } ?> The above example will output something similar to: Welcome! Today is the of . Text outside of the HTML block. NOTES
Note If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem. SEE ALSO

FGETCSV(3) 1 FGETCSV(3) fgetcsv - Gets line from file pointer and parse for CSV fields SYNOPSIS
array fgetcsv (resource $handle, [int $length], [string $delimiter = ","], [string $enclosure = '"'], [string $escape = " DESCRIPTION
Similar to fgets(3) except that fgetcsv(3) parses the line it reads for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read. PARAMETERS
o $handle - A valid file pointer to a file successfully opened by fopen(3), popen(3), or fsockopen(3). o $length - Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.1.0 and later) the maximum line length is not limited, which is slightly slower. o $delimiter - The optional $delimiter parameter sets the field delimiter (one character only). o $enclosure - The optional $enclosure parameter sets the field enclosure character (one character only). o $escape - The optional $escape parameter sets the escape character (one character only). RETURN VALUES
Returns an indexed array containing the fields read. Note A blank line in a CSV file will be returned as an array comprising a single null field, and will not be treated as an error. Note If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem. fgetcsv(3) returns NULL if an invalid $handle is supplied or FALSE on other errors, including end of file.

Example #1 Read and print the entire contents of a CSV file <?php $row = 1; if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) { while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $num = count($data); echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p> "; $row++; for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) { echo $data[$c] . "<br /> "; } } fclose($handle); } ?> NOTES
Note Locale setting is taken into account by this function. If $LANG is e.g. en_US.UTF-8, files in one-byte encoding are read wrong by this function. SEE ALSO
