What I am trying to do: lab uploads txt file php validates file, row by row, field by field (against database) I display bad rows and reasons in red and reject file I've figured out a different way to display the whole row by just printing the array with "," instead of "<br>/n" Just wondering why the row pointer was getting incremented and now I think I know why: a call to both fgetcsv() and fget() will each increment the row pointer by one. No? So, taking this out leaves only fgetcsv() to increment the rows in the text file it is looking at: /*$buffer = fgets($handle,300); $buffer = str_replace("\"","",$buffer); print $buffer."<br>";*/ Warning: more on this later :) Jason Wong <php-db@gremlins.biz> wrote: On Saturday 27 September 2003 01:24, Karen Resplendo wrote: > Does that mean that my length setting has to be exactly the length of the > row?
