Reading txt file on network with php

Question

I need to read and parse the txt file on the network with PHP.

"Warning: file_get_contents(file//10.0.2.129/lims/lims.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\AppServ\www\mail\index.php on line 2"

This way I get the error message.

<?php
$txt_file = file_get_contents('file//10.0.2.129/lims/lims.txt');

function sp($x) {
    return preg_split("/\s\s+|\s*\((\d{4}).*\)/", $x,0,PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
}

$array = preg_split("/\n/", $txt_file);
$processed = array_map('sp', $array);

print_r(json_encode($processed));
?>

You are missing a colon:Try file:// See https://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php for valid protocols — Bulan, Sep 24 '20 at 16:14

file_get_contents can be used with local files or through protocols (listed here : https://www.php.net/manual/wrappers.php)

In your example, you missed the ":" between "file" and "//". And, based on IP looking, your file is on a shared disk, so you must add the network prefix \\ before.

So it should be file_get_contents('file://\\\\10.0.2.129/lims/lims.txt'). Since "file://" is the default protocol, you can remove it an only keep file_get_contents('\\\\10.0.2.129/lims/lims.txt')

Can we use something else instead of file_get_contents? – Sefa Kuru Sep 24 '20 at 13:04
To read file ? Yes, look to fopen, fread and fclose combo : https://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.fread.php, first example – darkelfe Sep 24 '20 at 13:09

try using file_get_contents('./lims/lims.txt'); but make sure to choose the right path depending the location you are calling this function from.

The question is about reading a file from a network, not from the same directory as the script – jrswgtr Sep 24 '20 at 11:33
