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);
