# stream_get_line

(PHP 5)

stream_get_line -- Gets line from stream resource up to a given delimiter

## Description

string stream_get_line ( resource handle, int length [, string ending] )

Returns a string of up to length bytes read from the file pointed to by handle. Reading ends when length bytes have been read, when the string specified by ending is found (which is not included in the return value), or on EOF (whichever comes first).

If an error occurs, returns `FALSE`.

This function is nearly identical to fgets() except in that it allows end of line delimiters other than the standard \n, \r, and \r\n, and does not return the delimiter itself.

See also fread(), fgets(), and fgetc().
