help, arrays

[tferris]

I am using version 3 of php, does anyone know how to read data (variable) stored in a text file and display the data on a web page using arrays?
Thanx!

$myArray = file("$file_name");

foreach ($myArray as $line) {
echo "$line<br>";
}

Will this work in this case:
A user enters information in a form,
ex name
date
Description
Each item is stored in a vaiable then written to the text file. THe webpage reads this files and displays the information from each vaiable. there can be many records in t the text file but there not store by record but each variable needs to be pulled out and displayed separate, not a one string. Does this make sense? I had it working for version for but in version 3 the arrays don't seem to be functioning correctly.

for that you'd want to write an ini file for each user.

....file.ini...
ex_name=Barney
date=04/16/2002
Description=blah
;;a comment here

$fileArr = parse_ini_file('file.ini');
print_r($fileArr);
