Are you really sure you want to do that?
You have top open each and every file, read/print its contents, and close
the file. It might be a lot slow!


/* needs error-checking for fopen() and fgets() */
foreach ($list as $val) {
$f = fopen($val);
while (!feof(f)) {
$line = fgets($f);
if (preg_match('/^charname=(.*)$/', $line, $matches)) {
echo '<a href="test.php?name=', urlencode(substr($val, -4)),
'">', $matches[1], '</a><br>';
break; /* leave inner while() */
}
}
fclose($f);
}
