Undefined offset when using a flat file with pipe symbols

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi, I've got a flat file/text file which I'm currently using as a member database for my site (not advisable I know.. but still learning here).

In a section of code I need to separate the fields to make various checks later in the code

I use this line to do that..

list ($name, $pass, $fileidnumber) = split ('|', $line);

Yet.. I keep getting "undefined offset" messages.. even when all 3 fields are filled in for all records.. eg..
Fred|bonkers|3n

Is it the new line causing the problem?

Also, the server is a bit peculiar in behaviour, it won't let me upload empty text files to start with (0kb).. the only way around it is for me to add a blank line or something to make it at least 1kb so the server notices it.. so in other words.. if Fred's record was the only one in the database, there'd be a space (I guess) underneath his record (all future records are added to the top of the file, but the space will always come last when checking)

If anyone out there can help or give ideas as to why this is happening I'd be grateful.. thanks
