    EOF Explanation Anybody?

    Hello,
    I don't quite understand the constant, EOF. In php I work with opening and reading external(non-program) files such as csv or txt, and I use EOF as end of that file.

    Does EOF in C mean EOF of the program, and if so, is this like reading the file from top to bottom? I have a small program that basically goes into loop waiting for user input and it tests :
    Code:
    while(something != EOF){
    
    Blah blah
    
    }
    Anybody shed some light?
    Im new to C by the way.
