Question

I have a plain text file with many lines. Each line contains 5 words exactly. Eg:

cat bat rat mat sat
hello hi howdy namaste salaam
here there where nowhere somewhere
a b c d e
......
......

Now I am retrieving the lines one by one using fgets() function. The lines are retrieved perfectly, but when i explode the string to form an array of the 5 words, i see that the trailing line feed character is also included in the array.

So how to remove the trailing line feed character while exploding?

Answer 1

When you get the lines use rtrim

rtrim($myline, "\n")
