Sincerely berber Visit http://www.weberdev.com/ Today!!! To see where PHP might take you tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: Lance Q [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 1:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] extracting text from text file to be used in PHP Hello all, One of the sites I host is a radio station. Their computer has been setup to automagically upload the current song and the next song to their web site via FTP. Unfortunately, the format it comes in is pretty awful. (See below). <tag> The CURRENT CutID is: 70428 The Type is: MUS The ArtistName is: Nena The SongTitle is: 99 Luft Balloons (German) The Duration is: 00:03:48 </tag> What I would like to know how to do is extract the relevant info (everything after the : for instance) and manipulate it, possibly as a variable so that $ArtistName=Nena for instance. I've looked through the php.net manual for fgets and such, but no luck.
