fclose($fp02);

Now the contents of said text file would read something like the following:

Now what I want to do is read this file, but only say read 5 songs worth, then I would place the PHP code in (another table) and display the next 5 songs and so on.... This just allows for a more flexible layout in the final presentation. the way I am having the text files written, there is no way to get it to produce seperate text files - otherwise this would be easy to do....
Is this possible?
Yes, possible. Worth the time? No. Can you put all that info in a database?
