Text Data Storage - Part 2: After create a custom text file for data storage alternative at this post, we will read that file.
<?
echo "<pre>File Contents:\n";
readfile('test.dat');
$readdat = fopen('test.dat', 'r');
echo "\n\nSimple Purchase Order:\n";
fscanf($readdat, "%04d-%02d-%02d[^\n]", $n1, $n2, $n3);
echo "Buy Date:\n year = '{$n1}'\n month
= '{$n2}'\n day = '{n3}'\n";
fscanf($readdat, "%3s*%40[^\n] %f\n", $p3, $p4, $p5);
echo "Code = '{$p3}'\nProperty = '{$p4}'\nPrice = '{$p5}'";
echo "</pre>";
fclose($readdat);
?>
