hi,
im a bit new to php programming, and im trying to make this:
- user enters data on webpage and i store them to a txt file (this worked easily ...)
- then i wanted to compare the string that users add to already saved data in txt files. so reading line by line .... it is suppose to be working like this: if there is a duplicate entery, close file and echo "duplicate entery". i use strcmp to compare two string and its kind a frustrating, cause i get in infinty loop i guess and lots o new, same enterys in the txt file. i got stuck here and wonder if someone could help ....
this is my code ....
