read a file and parse for semicolon

[Anon]

Hi,
I want to add every fourth semicolon a return or break. But I get every line a break. Where is mistake?

while ( !feof( $fp ) )
{
$dummy = fgetc( $fp );
if ( ereg( ";",$dummy ) && ( $i % 4 ) == 0 )
{
$dummy .= "<br>";
}
else if ( ereg( ";",$dummy ) )
$i++;
$string .= $dummy;
}
echo "$string";

please help

thanks
