Well lets try....
<?php
$OutputArray = array(); //Create an array to the output
$fp = fopen ("yourgroupfile","r"); //Open the groupfile
while ($d = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, ":")) { //While loop as long there is some
data
$OutputArray[$d[2]] = $d[0]; //Set groupid as key, and groupname as
value
} //end of while
fclose ($fp); //close file
print_r($OutputArray); //Print out the array, to check the values!
?>
Please reply if this doesn't work?
By the way... if you got further problems, please tell us which version of
PHP you use.....
