I'm trying to do a code for daily birthdays, those birthdays are on a .txt with a Y-m-d date and the name of the person, but I don't know how to compare the .txt dates with the current date and print the person's name.

That's what I started

$current = date("Y-m-d");
$content = fopen("content.txt", "r");
while (!feof($content)){
    $linha  = fgets($content);  
    echo $linha. "<br>";
}

That's the .txt content:

2017-12-13  ;   teste

2017-12-13  ;   teste

2017-12-15  ;   teste

2017-12-15  ;   teste

use a database! – Martin Dec 15 '17 at 17:20
There's any other way? I really don't want to use a db. – Luís Noronha Dec 18 '17 at 09:56
Why do you not want to use a database? Yes, you can use a filesystem but that's just like a database with none of the advantages and lots of extra risks – Martin Dec 18 '17 at 10:00
Using two .txt I can do the comparison, but only with the last lines of the .txt, I'm trying to compare all lines now. – Luís Noronha Dec 18 '17 at 11:12
