Reading Files in Php
- Local files can be read very easily in Php, as follows:
$lines = file( 'play.txt' );
//--- print each line in a list ---
print "<ul>\n";
for ( $i=0; $i<count( $lines ); $i++ )
print "<li>$i: $lines[$i]\n";
print "</ul>\n";
- The code above reads all the lines from the text file play.txt and displays them as a numbered list, using the $i index as a counter (the line numbering will start at 0).
Questions
- Question 1
- Write the code necessary to extract all the coordinates from the KML file and store them in two arrays, $x and $y, i.e. filter out all the lines of the form:
-72.70066539999999,42.35041920000000
- and store the first number in array $x, and the second one in $y.
- Question 2
- Same question, but this time use functions.
