I am currently having the problem of how I might be able to have a .txt file with multiple lines and each week the php code would grab the line for the corresponding week so first line from the .txt for first week second line for second week and so on...
And I am also trying to use that php code and except of echoing it, to use html p tag to execute the line from the txt file
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); //set your timezone
$file = file_get_contents('file.txt'); //Get the file
$splitLines = explode("\n", $file); //use \r\n if \n doesn't work (linux and windows differences)
$weeknumber = date("W", strtotime("now")); //Get current weeknumber
$line = $splitLines[($weeknumber -1)]; //get the right line, -1 because week 1 is 0, week 2 = 1, etc. etc.
echo "<p>$line</p>"; //echo the line in the <p> tag
?>
IF you want to do this within html instead of php, do it like this:
<body>
<p><?= $line ?></p>
</body>
Tho I do feel like I should tell you, that this is a very bad idea. It's a lot smarter to simply make an array in a seperate php file which you could include or something. Eventually, you might bump into problems with a line-break based structure.
-- You asked me how to execute it instead of doing an echo. I don't know what you mean, but here's a try:
<?php
function getWeekLine(){
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); //set your timezone
$file = file_get_contents('file.txt'); //Get the file
$splitLines = explode("\n", $file); //use \r\n if \n doesn't work (linux and windows differences)
$weeknumber = date("W", strtotime("now")); //Get current weeknumber
$line = $splitLines[($weeknumber -1)]; //get the right line, -1 because week 1 is 0, week 2 = 1, etc. etc.
Return $line;
}
?>
IF you want to do this within html instead of php, do it like this:
<body>
<p><?= getWeekLine() ?></p>
</body>
Now, when you're in need of "execution", just say <?php getWeekLine(); ?>
Use echo if you want to actually show the results.
