Question

I am trying to read a file line by line. Then print only the lines that match the variable length. If the $maxLength is set to 5, then print only the ones that are no more than 5 characters long.

I open the file. I know each line gets stored into the $output. How do I find the matching length?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

if($handle)
{
  while (!feof($handle))
  {
    $output = fgets($handle, 4096);      
  }
}

Answer 1

if(is_file($file)) { $contents=file($file); }
for($i=0;$i<$maxlength;$i++) {
    echo($contents[$i]);
}
