fgetc

Description

Returns a string containing a single character read from the file pointed to by handle. Returns FALSE on EOF.

The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen(), popen(), or fsockopen().

Example 1. A fgetc() example <?php $fp = fopen('somefile.txt', 'r'); if (!$fp) { echo 'Could not open file somefile.txt'; } while (false !== ($char = fgetc($fp))) { echo "$char\n"; } ?>
