file function -- converts plain text file to array of lines
usage:
$array_handle = file(url or /path/to/file)
If path to file leads to:
This is a
file of text
made with BBEdit.
Then, the following:
$f = file("/path/to/file");
will generate an array in which:
$f[0] = "This is a\n";
$f[1] = "file of text\n";
$f[2] = "made with BBEdit";
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
strstr function -- finds a substring within a larger string and returns
only the end of the larger string (after the substring)
usage:
$larger = "This is a longer string that contians BANANA in it."
$end = strstr($larger, "BANANA");
$end will contain "BANANA in it."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
trim function -- removes "white space" from beginning and end of a string
usage:
$str = " hello ";
$out = trim($str);
$out now contains "hello"
This also strips away TABS (\t), ENDLINE characters (\n and \r), and
perhaps other non-printing characters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
strip_tags function -- removes HTML tags from a string
usage:
$source = "LOWHI";
$out = strip_tags($source,"");
$out now contains "<TITLE>LOWHI";
