                                     fgetc

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   fgetc -- Gets character from file pointer

Description

   string fgetc ( resource handle)

   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().

   Warning

   This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a
   non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or "". Please
   read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the ===
   operator for testing the return value of this function.

   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";
   }
   ?>

     Note: This function is binary-safe.

   See also fread(), fopen(), popen(), fsockopen(), and fgets().
