files-arrays

[Anon]

hi,
The file is as follows :
chirs , 45 , 25.5
ruthy , 35 , 22.4

I want to read this file into array and write back to file from array. I am using File( ) to read and fputs to write into file back again. While I read using file( ), the first line becomes first element of array. Is there any function which seperates the delimitor, here 'comma' ?

Ther is a function called explode()

It works something like this:

$mystring = "chirs , 45 , 25.5";
$array = explode(",", $mystring);
$array will now have 3 elements
$array[0] will be "chirs"
$array[1] will be "45"

$array[2] will be "25.5"

Check out

for more information about the function

Check http://www.php.net/fgetcsv - it reads from a file, parses the CSV line and populates it directly into an array.
