Any php gurus here? Array_walk help needed - GoFuckYourself.com

smashface · 02-06-2005, 06:57 PM

Im trying to create a file by using each element of an array as the filename. I have the following code and am getting an Invalid argument error.

$newfile = file("newdata.txt");

function touchfile($foo) {

touch($foo);

}

array_map ("touchfile", $newfile);

The error is occurring in the touch line.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Chris

Im testing on a Windows machine using Abyss Webserver plus PHP5. I'm able to get a literal value to be the filename. If I change;

touch($foo);

to

touch('$foo');

it will create the file $foo

This works:

Code:

<?php

$newfile = file("test.txt");

function touchfile($foo) {
	$foo = trim($foo);
	touch($foo);
}
array_walk($newfile, 'touchfile');
?>

what's the error you are getting?

smashface · 02-06-2005, 07:21 PM

Thanks swedguy. I guess there was a space/carriage return that was causing an error.

swedguy · 02-06-2005, 07:21 PM

Hmm, just adding double quotes on the trim() in the original code works too. Odd.
