I'm trying to write to a file, then write the contents of that file into html. The recieving file "data.txt" is recieving one line of input, and the html prints infinitely (well, up to 175 k at which I pulled the plug) Here's the code.

<html>
<head>
<title>write test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="green">
<p>
Here's some text in the html, later
we'll see what comes from the php
</p>

<?
// open file for writing
$myFile = fopen("data.txt", "w");

// make sure file opened
if(!($myFile))
{
print("file open no can do boss");
exit;
}

for($index=0; $index<10; $index++);
{
//write a line to file
fputs($myFile, "line $index n");
}

while(!(feof($myFile)))
{
// read from the file
//$myLine = fgetss($myFile, 255);
//print("$myLine <br>n");
print('Hell, say anything! ');
}

// close file
fclose($myFile);
?>

</body></html>

Since you're always putting, it has no EOF.

But if you're reading from somewhere else... Then check the EOF of the source file.

for($index=0; $index<10; $index++);
{
//write a line to file
fputs($myFile, "line $index n");
}

$myFile is still open when you get here, for writing. You need to close it before you do the next bit...

eg.
fclose($myFile);
$myFile=fopen("data.txt","r");

while(!(feof($myFile)))
{
// read from the file
//$myLine = fgetss($myFile, 255);
//print("$myLine <br>n");
print('Hell, say anything! ');
}

// close file

Hope that helps,

Kelv and Eduardo, thanks! Closing and reopening the file did the trick.
