Question

what is wrong with this code:
I need to make one array from lines between the tokens: START is starting and END is ending token;
I have this type of text file:

 123-456-6541 (P) 
 you got page one
 second line
 third line
 END
 123-456-6541 (P) 
 you got page one
 second line
 another line 
 END

this is php code; it supposed to keep inserting lines into array untill it reaches second token:

        <?php
        $fh = fopen('text2.txt','r');
        while ($line = fgets($fh)) {    $lines[] = $line; }

        $active = false;
        $temp = "";
        $result = array();

            for ($i = 0; $i < count ($lines); $i++ )
            {
                     $line = $lines[$i];

                       if  ( strpos ( $line , ' 123-456-6541 (P)' ) !== false )
                                 {  
                                            $result[]= $line;
                                            $active = true;
                                 }      
                            if (strpos($line, 'END') !== false ) {
                                                      $active = false;
                                } 

            if ($active)
                $result[] = $line; 
            }   

                    print_r ( $result );

Following is desired result:

        Array
(
[0] => you got page one
       second line
       third line

[1] => you got page one 
       second line
       another line
 )

Answer 1

Edit: rewriting since source data example changed

$t = <<< EOF
 123-456-6541 (P)
 you got page one
 second line
 third line
 END
 123-456-6541 (P)
 you got page one
 second line
 aanother line
 END

EOF;

preg_match_all( "/[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}[ ]+\(P\)(.*)END/msU", $t, $r );

print_r( $r );  

This will match the phone number pattern and spit out the following:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 123-456-6541 (P)
 you got page one
 second line
 third line
 END
            [1] => 123-456-6541 (P)
 you got page one
 second line
 aanother line
 END
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 
 you got page one
 second line
 third line

            [1] => 
 you got page one
 second line
 aanother line

        )
