Re: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file
Someone may have a better way but you can read each line (assuming the file uses \n for a new record) and use: arrayname = explode(|,$variable_holding_line_from_file); Then you can do assign the variables as such: $name = $arrayname[0]; etc Could be a better way from the list :) Jeff - Original Message - From: Rudi Ahlers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 3:08 PM Subject: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file Hi Say I have a text file, separated by | ( a pipe).

RE: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file
How about
pseudocode...
$variable=variablename;
$array = explode(|,$text);
foreach ($array as $key = $value) {
$variable$key=$value;
}

Re: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file
I couldn't get this to work. Here is my complete script:
?
function WriteToFile ($URL, $Description) {
$file = bonzai.txt;
$open = fopen ($file, a);
if ($open) {
fwrite ($open, $URL\t$Description\n);
fclose ($open);
$Worked = TRUE ;
} else {
$Worked = FALSE;
}
return $Worked;
}
function ReadFromFile() {
$file = bonzai.txt;
$open = fopen ($file, r);
if ($open) {
print (URLs currently listed in the data file:P\n);
$data = file ($file);
for ($n = 0; $n count($data); $n++) {
$GetLine = explode(|, $data[$n]);
print ($GetLine[0]p\n);
}
fclose ($open);
print (hrP\n);
} else {
print (Unable to read from bonzai.txt!BR\n);
}
}
ReadFromFile();
?
It gives me some error. I'm still pretty new to php, so I still need to
learn all of this.
