Reading txt files with PHP

  • 772

Hello, I am trying to extract information from a txt file with PHP, for example:

Line 1: Luis Juarez

Line 2: Paco Mendoza

Line 3: Pepe Suarez

They helped me before with this sentence

$arc = fopen('archivos/'.$nombre,"r");
while(! feof($arc))  {
    $Nombre = substr(fgets($arc), 0, 4);
    $Apellido = substr(fgets($arc), 6, 10);
      echo $Nombre;
      echo "<brs>";
      echo $Apellido;
      echo "<br>";
}
fclose($arc);

The problem is that every time it is executed fgets()it sends me to the next line and prints Luis Mendoza on the screen when Luis Juarez should print, could someone help me with the solution Thank you very much in advance

    You must store the line returned by fgetsin a variable, and then process it. It is also better to split the line at the blank character ' ', using explodebecause the name can have any number of characters.

    $arc = fopen('archivos/'.$nombre,"r");
while(! feof($arc))  {
    $linea = fgets($arc);
    // eliminar salto de línea del final de la cadena
    $linea = rtrim($linea, "\r\n");
    $partes = explode(' ', $linea, 2);
    $Nombre = $partes[0];
    $Apellido = $partes[1];
    echo $Nombre;
    echo "<br>";
    echo $Apellido;
    echo "<br>";
}
fclose($arc);
