fgets problem

[Greenster]

Hi,

Can anyone help me - I use fopen to open a txt file it always returns success.
I fopen with a "a+" as I need to read and write.

When I use
while($buffer = fgets($fp , 4096)){

}

It returns one blank line and quits the line.
I have also used
while (!feof ($fp)){
$buffer = fgets($fp , 4096)
}

same thing, one blank line. Permissions are fine am using Linux OS.

I know definitely 100% that the file contains text!! (5 lines) Why does it return one blank line and quit the loop??

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

You have to do a rewind on the File.

'a' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

After the fopen you must do
rewind($fp)

Other thing, you can open the file as "r+". With this flag you can read and write in the file, but it opens in the BOF instead of EOF.
