Hi Joel
Here's my abridged and annotated version of what I think you're trying to
achieve i.e replace all occurrences of <j> in a file with the contents of
the test.txt file:
<?
//load text files into variables
$formFile = "main.txt";
$stJavaFile = "test.txt";
//suppress errors with @ and load text files into variables
/* I couldn't find fail in my version of PHP so I used die() instead. Also
file() doesn't need "r" - you're thinking of fopen */
if (!$form = @file($formFile)) {
die("Cannot open file: " . $formFile . "!");
}
/* if the search element of str_replace is a string as in your example then
the replacement element should also be a string, not an array. Use join() to
bring in the file as a string as below. If you make the search element into
an array using something like $search = array("<j>") then this is only
replaced by the first element of the replacement array i.e. the first line,
which is not what I think you want */
if (!$stJava = join( '', @file($stJavaFile))) {
die("Cannot open file: " . $stJavaFile . "!");
}
$newForm = str_replace("<j>",$stJava,$form);
foreach ($newForm as $line) {
echo "$line\n";
}
?>
