You basically have two options.
1) You can use readfile() to open the file into an array then $line =
explode(':', $file) in a for loop to split the values from each line.
search for 'readfile' and 'explode' on php.net
2) You can fopen() the file and use $data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, ':') then
your desired information will be at $data[0];
search for 'fopen' and 'fgetcsv' on php.net
Either way is equally valid. The only differences is the fopen method makes
it alot easier to write data back to the delimited file if that's something
you need to do.
