PHP explode not filling in array spot 0
- by Billy Winterhouse
I have a file we will call info.txt under UNIX format that has only the following in it:
#Dogs
#Cats
#Birds
#Rabbits
and am running this against it:
$filename = "info.txt";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd,filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
$delimiter = "#";
$insideContent = explode($delimiter, $contents);
Now everything looks to be working fine except when I display the array I get the following.
[0] =>
[1] => Dogs
[2] => Cats
[3] => Birds
[4] => Rabbits
I checked the .txt file to make sure there wasn't any space or hidden characters in front of the first # so I'm at a loss of why this is happening other than I feel like I'm missing something terribly simple. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!
