I have the following code to write data to a text file.
$somecontent = "data|data1|data2|data3";
$filename = 'test.txt';
// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
IF (IS_WRITABLE($filename)) {
// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
IF (!$handle = FOPEN($filename, 'a')) {
PRINT "Cannot open file ($filename)";
EXIT;
}
// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
IF (!FWRITE($handle, $somecontent)) {
PRINT "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
EXIT;
}
PRINT "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";
FCLOSE($handle);
} ELSE {
PRINT "The file $filename is not writable";
}
Now I want this text file to only every have 10 lines of data and when a new line of data is added which is unique to the other lines then the last line of data is deleted and a new line of data is added.
From research I have found the following code however total no idea how to implement it on the above code.
check for duplicate value in text file/array with php
and also what is the easiest way to implement the following code?
<?
$inp = file('yourfile.name');
$out = fopen('yourfile.name','w');
for ($I=0;$i<count($inp)-1);$i++)
fwrite($out,$inp[$I]);
fclose($out)l
?>
Thanks for any help from a PHP newbie.
