A lot of help needed

[emcb_php]

Hi,

I made a post a few days ago and i cant find it here now (must have left it toooooo long!)

Quite a few things i need to know...

I need to be able to populate a select box, what ive got is a file that looks like:

--- file.txt ---
Elfyn mcBratney <[e-mail]>,Elfyn McBratney <[e-mail]>,Elfyn McBratney <[e-mail]>
--- file.txt ---

and i want to populate a <select> with each set seperated by a comma so the it would look like this:

<select>
<option>Elfyn mcBratney <[e-mail]></option>
<option>Elfyn mcBratney <[e-mail]></option>
<option>Elfyn mcBratney <[e-mail]></option>
</select>

secondly i have an xml file that contains three tags...

<user>root</user>
<pass>root</pass>
<access_level>root</access_level>

so does anyone know how i can get those into variables?

And the latter, is there a way i can read this...

$username = "someuser";
$password = "somepass";
$uunetdom = "someuunt";

and get them into variables like $filedata["username"] or $filedata[username]?

Cheers Guys,

Elfyn

Question 1:
<?fake code
$populate = file("file.txt", "r");
preg_replace(",", "</option>\n<option>", "$populate);
print "<select>\n<option>$populate\n</select>;
?>

Question 2: I don't understand the question.

Question 3: I would take the same approach I took in the first one, but it would require some more hard thinking. Someone will probably come up with a more decent idea.

Good luck,
