A more flexible substitute for file() ??

[gideon]

I know that file() transfers a file into an array by using the newline-command as a break.
But is there any function that allows me to substitute the newline-command by an user-defined command to start a new section in the array (e.g. I want to tell this imagined function to start a new section in the array every time it reads "%&&&%" in the file) ???

Excuse my bad style, I'm no native speaker of English

You could do like this:

$fp = fopen("file.txt", "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize("file.txt"));
fclose($fp);

$array = explode("%&&&%", $content);
