inserting dat file contents into a mysql

[Anon]

I have a dat file with each record separated by two lines. Each field in the record is separated by one line. First I need to place the entire contents of the file into an array. Second, split the array on the double line feed and make that the "record" variable. Then split the "record" variable on the signle line feed to iterate through the fields. This will be a while or for loop.
The problem is that I cant find the php syntax for doing the split of the array. Does anybody know?? Thanks

I don't think that there is some fuunction to split an array but following setps may help u

• First make string of array which u will get by reading dat file.Count the no of values and through for loop make one single string of and array lets say $string

*Now explode that string by explode function give the parameter for explode sign as "\n\n"
ie two lines

ex $all_records = explode("\n\n","$string");

*Now through for loop retrive the single single record from an array $all_records and explode the value in a single line u will get the field of a record

Hope this will help
