File() acting weird on CSS file 2

Hi
Are you sure that not some other code removes it later ? So far in my test it looks Ok.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding 
When I leave my css file in its original state, file("style.css") returns an empty array (weird behaviour).
If I manually remove the css tags in the file, file("style.css") returns the css content as an array (normal behaviour).

Thanks guys
Well, I'm afraid the problem will be left unsolved because I've chosen to avoid the issue by using something else than file() simply because I didn't want to waste more time on it.
As for Jpadie's question, yes the array existed for real but was empty.

can you post a sample of your styles file (as caused problems) together with a brief view of your setup (OS and versions). if what you report can be replicated then it is a bug that should be reported to PHP (which I am happy to sort out).

style_with_tags.css :
Code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| */
/* GLOBAL : DEFAULT */
/* _________________________________________________________________________ */
/* _________________________________________________________________________ */
body {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin: 0px;
}
body, input, textarea, select {
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- */
-->
</style>style_without_tags.css :
Code:
/* ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| */
/* GLOBAL : DEFAULT */
/* _________________________________________________________________________ */
/* _________________________________________________________________________ */
body {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin: 0px;
}
body, input, textarea, select {
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- */PHP :
Code:
<?php
$css_array = file("style_with_tags.css");
echo nl2br(print_r($css_array, true));
/*
returns
Array
(
[0] =>
)
*/
echo "<br /><br /><br /><br />";
$css_array = file("style_without_tags.css");
echo nl2br(print_r($css_array, true));
?>that's why it does not work.
the file has the <style> tags embedded and so the browser knows not to display it on the screen.
if you want to view html on the screen as html (rather than as rendered html) you need first to encode it with htmlspecialchars or htmlentities.
when you take the <style> tags out the browser thinks it is just plain display text it is getting so renders it for you.
the html comment tags will have a similar net effect.
so ... to display the css you need to do this:
Code:
echo "<pre>\r\n";
foreach($css_array as $line){
echo htmlspecialchars($line);
}
echo "</pre>";[/code]

Hi
Oops. You tried all that in the browser ? Hmm... When in doubt, I always use the command line. There you can be sure no other software chops the output.

that's strange, when using Sleidia's code, I get the behaviour that he describes, which is what i'd also expect given the the code.
of course with the code I posted, both sets of css should display ok.
and as an aside, external css files should not have <style> tags but i assumed that Sleidia is including() the files in a page rather than using <style href=""> tags or the @import method.
