RE: [PHP] importing text file
ok here is an example that someone gave me...it
works..it splits up the file but it comes out as
$data_values[0] = Something
$data_values[1] = SomethingElse
$data_values[0] = SomethingMore
$data_values[0] = Something
$data_values[1] = SomethingElse
$data_values[0] = SomethingMore
and so on
how do I get this to where its $Something,
$SomethingElse, $SomethingMore
thanks...
$data) {
$data_values = explode(" - ",$data);
foreach($data_values as $data_num => $record) {
echo "\$data_values[$data_num] = $record";
}
}
?>

[PHP] importing text file
I have a text file that is formatted as such Something - SomethingElse <4 blank lines> SomethingMore <4 blank lines> Something - SomethingElse <4 blank lines> SomethingMore <4 blank lines> and so on Anyone have any ideas on what I would use to get this into seperate records that are $Something, $SomethingElse, $SomethingMore for displaying in php or even importing into mysql? I would even go for $Something and just $SomethingMore with $Something really being $Something-$SomethingElse. I don't know if that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. __ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
