For C/C++ programmers.
fscanf() does not work like C/C++, because PHP's fscanf() move file pointer the next line implicitly.
fscanf
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
fscanf — 从文件中格式化输入
说明
fscanf() 函数和 sscanf() 相似，但是它从与
stream 关联的文件中接受输入并根据指定的
format 来解释输入。
格式字符串中的任何空白会与输入流中的任何空白匹配。这意味着甚至格式字符串中的制表符（\t）也会与输入流中的一个空格字符匹配。
每次调用 fscanf() 都会从文件中读取一行。
参数
返回值
如果只给此函数传递了两个参数，解析后的值会被作为数组返回。否则，如果提供了可选参数，此函数将返回被赋值的数目。 可选参数必须用引用传递。
如果 format 中预期的子字符串超出 string
中有效的子字符串，则返回 null。其它错误将返回 false。
示例
示例 #1 fscanf() 例子
<?php
$handle = fopen("users.txt", "r");
while ($userinfo = fscanf($handle, "%s\t%s\t%s\n")) {
list ($name, $profession, $countrycode) = $userinfo;
//... do something with the values
}
fclose($handle);
?>
示例 #2 users.txt 的内容

It would be great to precise in the fscanf documentation
that one call to the function, reads a complete line.
and not just the number of values defined in the format.
If a text file contains 2 lines each containing 4 integer values,
reading the file with 8 fscanf($fd,"%d",$v) doesnt run !
You have to make 2
fscanf($fd,"%d %d %d %d",$v1,$v2,$v3,$v4);
Then 1 fscanf per line.

If you want to read text files in csv format or the like(no matter what character the fields are separated with), you should use fgetcsv() instead. When a text for a field is blank, fscanf() may skip it and fill it with the next text, whereas fgetcsv() correctly regards it as a blank field.

Yet another function to read a file and return a record/string by a delimiter. It is very much like fgets() with the delimiter being an additional parameter. Works great across multiple lines.
function fgetd(&$rFile, $sDelim, $iBuffer=1024) {
$sRecord = '';
while(!feof($rFile)) {
$iPos = strpos($sRecord, $sDelim);
if ($iPos === false) {
$sRecord .= fread($rFile, $iBuffer);
} else {
fseek($rFile, 0-strlen($sRecord)+$iPos+strlen($sDelim), SEEK_CUR);
return substr($sRecord, 0, $iPos);
}
}
return false;
}

If you want to parse a cron file, you may use this pattern:
<?php
while ($cron = fscanf($fp, "%s %s %s %s %s %[^\n]s"))
{
}
?>

to include all type of visible chars you should try:
<?php fscanf($file_handler,"%[ -~]"); ?>

actually, instead of trying to think of every character that might be in your file, excluding the delimiter would be much easier.
for example, if your delimiter was a comma use:
%[^,]
instead of:
%[a-zA-Z0-9.| ... ]
Just make sure to use %[^,\n] on your last entry so you don't include the newline.

If you want fscanf()to scan one variable in a large number of lines, e.g an Ipadress in a line with more variables, then use fscanf with explode()
<?
$filename = "somefile.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r") or die ("Error opening file! \n");
$u = explode(" ",$line); // $u is the variable eg. an IPadress
while ($line = fscanf($fp,"%s",$u)) {
if(preg_match("/^$u/",$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {$badipadresss++;} // do something and continue scan
}
?>
Besides, fscanf()is much faster than fgets()

fscanf works a little retardedly I've found. Instead of using just a plain %s you probably will need to use sets instead. Because it works so screwy compared to C/C++, fscanf does not have the ability to scan ahead in a string and pattern match correctly, so a seemingly perfect function call like:
fscanf($fh, "%s::%s");
With a file like:
user::password
Will not work. When fscanf looks for a string, it will look and stop at nothing except for a whitespace so :: and everything except whitespace is considered part of that string, however you can make it a little smarter by:
fscanf($fh, "%[a-zA-Z0-9,. ]::%[a-zA-Z0-9,. ]" $var1, $var2);
Which tells it that it can only accept a through z A through Z 0 through 9 a comma a period and a whitespace as input to the string, everything else cause it to stop taking in as input and continue parsing the line. This is very useful if you want to get a sentence into the string and you're not sure of exactly how many words to add, etc.

The use of PHP code in the ACM submission
Here is a sample solution for problem 1001 using PHP:
<?php
while (fscanf(STDIN, "%d%d", $a, $b) == 2) {
print ($a + $b) . "\n";
}
