silkfire Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Which line is missing and can you please show us your text file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batwimp Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 You're not getting your first line because fgets() reads and entire line, then moves the line pointer ahead one. So this line: $week = fgets($paintFile); reads the first line of your text file, doesn't do anything with it, and moves the pointer ahead one. So when you encounter this line: $nextDay = fgets($paintFile); the line pointer is already on line 2, which you are using. And I'm not sure this code is doing what you want it to. Since fgets() reads and entire line, you are adding up your line numbers and not the dollar amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
