Question

I want PHP read my article text file like this.

sample text file :

OMG! Where is my right hand.

I try to find my right hand but I can't see it.

please tell me how to find it.

Now I have this function code

function getContent($file_path,$path=''){
        $file_path = $file_path;
        if(file_exists('./'.$file_path)){
            $f_read = fopen($path.$file_path,'r');
            $rs = "";
            while (!feof($f_read)) {
                $rs .= fread($f_read, 8192);
            }
            fclose($f_read);
        }
        else{
            echo $rs = "Not Connect File !";
        }
        return($rs);
    }

after use that code :

OMG! Where is my right hand. I try to find my right hand but I can't see it. please tell me how to find it.

I want to use PHP function read first line to string1 and after first line is string2 like this

$string1 = "OMG! Where is my right hand."

$string2 = "I try to find my right hand but I can't see it.

    please tell me how to find it."

Help me please :)

Answerers: please read the question. The OP wants to read the first line into $string1 and the rest of the file into $string2 - you don't seem to be addressing that 8and why did he get a downvote?) — Mawg says reinstate Monica, Jan 08 '15 at 09:09

In order to to read the first line into $string1 and the rest of the file into $string2 ...

Read the first line, as you do above, then call file_get_contents to get the rest.

Use the offset parameter to tell file_get_contents() to start reading after the end of the first line (pass the string length of the first line).

You can use below code for splitting your paragraph into string and also assign the character (like period, comma, etc.) from where do you want the paragraph to split.

preg_split('/[.?!]/',$mystring);

You may refer this link for more information: Explode a paragraph into sentences in PHP

You can use $string=@file_get_contents($path_name); $string=@explode("\n",$string); //for get each line.

try using explode() function of PHP

function getContent($file_path,$path=''){
            $file_path = $file_path;
            if(file_exists('./'.$file_path)){
                $f_read = fopen($path.$file_path,'r');
                $rs = "";
                while (!feof($f_read)) {
                    $rs .= fread($f_read, 8192);
                    $demo=explode('.', $rs);
                }
                fclose($f_read);
            }
            else{
                echo $rs = "Not Connect File !";
            }
