Question

I have the following code which uses an array to write the result to file.
I want to create another array to read the celebrities array from another file.

<?php
require("class.XMLHttpRequest.php");
function hot($news){
 $url="https://localhost/search.aspx?search=".$news.""; 
 $ajax=new XMLHttpRequest();
 $ajax->setRequestHeader("Cookie","Cookie: host");
 $ajax->open("GET",$url,true);
 $ajax->send(null);
 if($ajax->status==200){
  $rHeader=$ajax->getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie");
  if(substr_count($rHeader, "Present!")>0) { return true; }
 }else{ return false; }
} 
$celebrities = array('britney','gaga','carol');
$filename = 'result.txt';
$handle = fopen($filename, 'a');
foreach($celebrities as $celebrity)
{
    if(hot($celebrity)) { fwrite($handle, "{$celebrity}\r\n"); };
}
fclose($handle);
?>

I would also like to load the $celebrities array from a file instead of

$celebrities = array('britney','gaga','carol');

I couldnt get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

<?php
$handle = @fopen('array.txt', "r"); 
if ($handle) { 
   while (!feof($handle)) { 
       $celebrities[] = fgets($handle, 4096); 
   } 
   fclose($handle); 
} 
?>

I don’t see any problem with your code. What exactly doesn’t work? Any error messages?

Why are you reading the file into an array? My suggestion:

$read_file = fopen('array.txt', 'r');
$write_file = fopen('result.txt', 'a');

while(!feof($read_file))
{
    $celebrity = trim(fgets($read_file));
    if(hot($celebrity)) { fwrite($write_file, "{$celebrity}\r\n"); }
}

fclose($write_file);
fclose($read_file);
