stream_get_line
Gets line from stream resource up to a given delimiter
Description
stringfalse stream_get_line(resource $stream
, int $length
, string $ending
= "")
Reading ends when length
bytes have been read, when
the non-empty string specified by ending
is found (which is
not included in the return value), or on EOF
(whichever comes first).
This function is nearly identical to fgets except in
that it allows end of line delimiters other than the standard \n, \r, and
\r\n, and does not return the delimiter itself.
Parameters
-
stream
-
A valid file handle.
-
length
-
The maximum number of bytes to read from the handle.
Negative values are not supported.
Zero (0
) means the default socket chunk size,
i.e. 8192
bytes.
-
ending
-
An optional string delimiter.
Return Values
Returns a string of up to length
bytes read from the file
pointed to by stream
, or false
on failure.
