Description
mixed fscanf (int handle, string format [, string
var1...])
The function fscanf() is similar to
sscanf(), but it takes its input from a file
associated with handle and interprets the input
according to the specified format. If only two
parameters were passed to this function, the values parsed will be
returned as an array. Otherwise, if optional parameters are passed, the
function will return the number of assigned values. The optional
parameters must be passed by reference.
Example 1. Fscanf() Example
$fp = fopen("users.txt","r");
while ($userinfo = fscanf($fp,"%s\t%s\t%s\n")) {
list($name, $profession, $countrycode) = $userinfo;
//... do something with the values
}
fclose($fp);
