years=4
download1=mirror12

I want to parse this so I can only call frank or freds data and move id, 
section, years, etc to varaibles.

Can someone give me some help
Thanks

If you´ve a php 5 environment I would recommend the Configuration 
Package of the newly releases ezComponents.


Components overview: http://ez.no/doc/components/overview

Fast, feature-rich and easy to use, hava a look at the tutorial:

Config files of this type in PHP anyway, are generally generated by the
PEAR Config package. Luckily for you it works both ways (creating and
reading the files) so its really easy to work with. The Config package
also supports all sorts of nifty features that will make your life
easier working with this file.
