I need to read the content of a file called orders.log with PHP and use the variables. The log file is stored like this:

Array

(

    [time] => 2099-99-99 00:00:00

    [gateway] => Paypal

    [gatewayOK] => Yes

    [gatewayTransactionId] => XXXXXXX

    [POST] => Array

        (

            [mc_gross] => 9.99

            [protection_eligibility] => Eligible

            [address_status] => confirmed

            [payer_id] => XXXXX

            [address_street] => XXXXX

            [payment_date] => 00:00:00 Nov 11, 2018 PDT

            [payment_status] => Completed

            [charset] => windows-1252



        )



)

I have tried reading it like this:

<?php

$orders=file_get_contents("orders.log");

echo $orders['time'];

echo $myarray[0]['gateway'];

echo $myarray[1]['mc_gross']; 

?>

But the result does not work like intended. It throws "A" and "r" . Any help would be appreciated.

This assumes that each entry is 20 lines long, it reads in the log file and the splits it into 20 segments using array_chunk().

It then processes each segment, first splitting the lines by the => using explode() and adding the values to an associative array with the left hand side as the key. You can then use the key to access each value.

$input = file("log.txt", FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);



$orders = array_chunk($input, 20);

foreach ( $orders as $order )   {

    $split = ;

    foreach ( $order as $line ) {

        $info = explode("=>", $line);

        if ( count($info) == 2){

            $split[trim($info[0]," t")] = trim ($info[1]);

        }

    }



    echo "gateway-".$split['gateway'].PHP_EOL;

    echo "mc_gross-".$split['mc_gross'].PHP_EOL;

}

If you wanted a list of all orders...

$input = file("log.txt", FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);



$orders = array_chunk($input, 20);

$orderList = ;

foreach ( $orders as $order )   {

    $split = ;

    foreach ( $order as $line ) {

        $info = explode("=>", $line);

        if ( count($info) == 2){

            $split[trim($info[0]," t")] = trim ($info[1]);

        }

    }

    $orderList = $split;

}





echo "gateway-".$orderList[0]['gateway'].PHP_EOL;

echo "mc_gross-".$orderList[0]['mc_gross'].PHP_EOL;

A third way which doesn't rely on the data being all the same format, this reads on a line by line basis and tries to work out the end of an element itself (just a line containing ))...

$fp = fopen("log.txt", "r");

$orderList = ;

$order = ;

while ( $line = fgets($fp)) {

    // Remove extra data after content

    $line = rtrim($line);

    // If end of order (a line just starting with a ')')

    if ( $line == ')' ) {

        // Convert order into associative array

        $split = ;

        foreach ( $order as $line ) {

            $info = explode("=>", $line);

            if ( count($info) == 2){

                $split[trim($info[0]," t")] = trim ($info[1]);

            }

        }

        // Add data to order list

        $orderList = $split;

        $order = ;

    }

    else {

        // Add line to existing data

        $order = $line;

    }

}



print_r($orderList);

fclose($fp);
