I need to read (write comes later) from a config file that we used to handle
manually.
I'm getting lazy, so I'm writing a web interface for this.
What I have does this...
- open a given file
- dump entire file into a string
- explode string into an array at the EOL marker
- walk down this new array
- decide if there is anything in current element
- decide if current line is a comment
- split line at '=' into 2 variables
- add new key and value from these variables back into array
- kill original array element
There must be a better way to do this.
All this seems a bit over kill to me.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks
Walter
This is what I have...
<?php
$config = $list . '/home/walter/vmd/config';
// Open the file
$handle = fopen ($config, "r");
// Read entire file into var
$content = fread($handle, filesize($config));
// convert var into array and explode file via line break
$content = split("\r\n", $content);
// close file
fclose($handle);
// Loop through file contents array
foreach ($content as $i => $value)
{
// If we have any data in this line
if (! empty ($value))
{
// If this line is not a comment
if ( $value{0} != '#')
{
list($a, $b) = split("=", $value);
$content[$a] = $b;
}
// kill original array element
unset($content[$i]);
}
}
// show me what I have
echo '<pre>';
echo print_r($content);
echo '</pre>';
?>
# Sample config file data, just 2 lines from the file...
#
# The "Personal Name" of the list, used in outgoing headers.
# If empty, default is the same as the list's username.
# if explicitly `false', then it is redefined empty.
LIST_NAME="RMT Working Group"
# The address of the list's admin or owner.
# if explicitly `false', then it is redefined empty.
