Entry
How do I fread only the lines of a file that exist between two markers (like %%data_start%% - %%data_end%%) in a file?

Jens Clasen, Peter Torkelson,
Once uppon a time I wrote a little snippet for that:
<?php
# NOTE:
# -----
# o This Function does not include any Error-Checking!
# o This Function works only upto a limited filesize!
#
# This Function has been released at
# http://php3-forum.de/forum.php3?nr=14811
# as well.
function split_file($file,$starttag,$endtag){
# Read File
$f=file($file);
$content=implode('\n',$f); # make a string out of it
$content=spliti("($starttag|$endtag)",$content); # Split by Start & End
for($i=0;($i+1)<count($content);$i+=2) # every second entry has to be
# a result now!
$line[]=explode("\n",$content[$i+1]);
return $line;
}
?>
If Your File for example looks like that:
---------------Test.html-----------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Test Test Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-----------------------------------------
and if You just want the Head-Section out of it, You can use:
$heads=split_file("Test.html","<HEAD>","</HEAD>");
print_r($heads[0]);
and the Head-Section will be displayed!
P.S.: As always: Please excuse my bad English - it's not my native
Language
