Question

I’m new to learning php and in one of my first programs I wanted to make a basic php website with login capabilities with and array of the user and passwd.

my idea is to store the username as a list parameter and have the passwd as the contents, like this:

arr = array(username => passwd, user => passwd);

now my problem is that I don’t know how I can read from the file (data.txt) so I can add it into the array.

data.txt sample:
username passwd
anotherUSer passwd

I’ve opened the file with fopen and stored it in $data.

Answer 1

You can use the file() function.

foreach(file("data.txt") as $line) {
    // do stuff here
}
