need help

[Anon]

ok first off, i am a total newbie so i might sound kind of dumb but here goes.
I have a program that generates a log file with six different parts seperated by semicolons then it will start a new line and repeat the same thing for example:

part1;part2;part3;part4;part5;part6
part1;part2;part3;part4;part5;part6
part1;part2;part3;part4;part5;part6
part1;part2;part3;part4;part5;part6

now what i need to do is that the first part and print each one on a different line so it needs to look like this:

part1
part1
part1
part1

how should i go about doing this? any help would be very useful. thanks in advance.

Very simple to do in php. Check the manual for the "explode" or "split" functions; either one would do exactly what you need.

i had tried these already but had no luck, hmm maybe im doing something wrong, o well i guess i still have a lot to learn.

I added the rtrim and strlen to avoid empty lines, but a real program should have much more robust input validation.

<?php

$filename="import.txt";

$myfile=fopen($filename,"r");
while(!(feof($myfile))) {
$words = fgets($myfile,225);
$words = rtrim($words);
if (strlen($words) > 5) {
list($p1, $p2, $p3,$p4, $p5, $p6) = split (";", $words, 6);
echo $p1 . "<br>";
}
}
fclose($myfile);
?>

ok now i see, it was just a rather simple overlooking, o well. thx for the help.
