extracting and outputing data from an ar

sol01

I have a file called cofig.txt (not config.txt)it contains the following:

1 :: ftp.gizmo.com :: user1 :: password1
2 :: ftp.yahoo.com :: user2 :: password2
3 :: ftp.cooldude.com :: user3 :: password3
4 :: ftp.jixjax.com :: user4 :: password4
5 :: ftp.tops.com :: user5:: password5

I would like to grab each entry and break it up into the four groups per line (using the :: as seperators)

Here is the code:

$fp = fopen ("cofig.txt", "r");

$array = array();

while ( ! feof ($fp) )
{
$line = fgets ($fp, 1024);
array_push ($array, $line);
explode("::", $array);
foreach ($array as $tochop)
{
print " ";
$chopped = explode("::", $tochop);

	$name = $chopped[0];
	$ftp = $chopped[1];
	$user = $chopped[2];
	$pass = $chopped[3];

	print "$name<br>";
	print "$ftp<br>";
	print "$user<br>";
	print "$pass";

            //at this point I would like to actually do something with these variables, I just added the print function for testing purposes//

	}
}

Now it grabs it fine but then it spits out the lines from the file it does it like this (It does spit out all entries so thats not the problem, I want it output to the browser entries 1 2 3 4 5 and then stop cause there are only 5 lines in the cofig file):

1
1
2
1
2
3
1
2
3
4
1
2
3
4
5
1
2
3
4
5

Thanks for any help!!!

Sorry for the triple posts.....had some weird problem.

I think you've got yourself wrapped up in an extra loop there: read a line, add it to the array, read through the array, read another line, read through the whole array again, ... and why are you exploding twice?

I'd replace

$line = fgets ($fp, 1024);
array_push ($array, $line);
explode("::", $array);
foreach ($array as $tochop)
{
print " ";
$chopped = explode("::", $tochop);

with

$line = fgets($fp, 1024);
$chopped=explode("::",$line);
print " "

and drop the matching '}' at the bottom.

You may want to hang on to these $chopped bits; if so, change the middle line above to

$array[]=$chopped=explode("::",$line);

and afterwards, $array[3][2] will be the $user listed on the fourth line of the file.
