feof

bool feof(resource file_handle) 

Checks whether EOF has been reached.

Returns:

TRUE if EOF; FALSE on error

Description:

Checks for EOF (end of file) on a file handle obtained from popen(), fopen(), or fsockopen(). This is a useful function when looping through data of unknown length.

Example:

Read from a file until EOF has been reached

<?php $fh = fopen ("test.txt", "r"); while(! feof ($fh)) { $output = htmlspecialchars(fgets($fh, 1024)); echo ("$output<br />"); } fclose ($fh); ?>
