# 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().
