$fp is a NUMBER.
The first file you open is Number 1, the second is number 2, and so on.
So you can't just go explode()ing $fp -- You've got to read some data.
$data = fread($fp, 10000); or
$data = fgets($fp, 100000000); or...
Lots of choices, actually, depending on how the file is layed out.
Now, some questions:
How "regimented" is the data? Is it *really* clean and always the same
number of lines?
If so, a simple:
$country = fgets($fp, 1000000);
$state = fgets($fp, 1000000);
.
.
.
inside of a while(!feof($fp)){ loop will work.
If there are sometimes some "missing" lines, or maybe sometimes two lines
where there should be one, it gets a bit more tricky...
You may need to look into http://php.net/strtok and do some high-falutin'
artificial-intelligence analysis of the data coming it as you read it to
"guess" which line is what...
And definitely get rid of the @ symbol, or AT LEAST check the value of $fp
and do something intelligent if it's no good.
if (!$fp){
# send error message or whatver.
exit;
}
