reading text file(each line)

[netmastan]

Hi, I got a text file in the following format and i want to strip the informatoin then insert into mysql datbase.

@AL-FÁTIHA (A ABERTURA)
[1.1] Em nome de Deus, o Clemente, o Misericordioso.
[1.2] Louvado seja Deus, Senhordo Universo,
[1.3] Clemente, o Misericordioso,
[1.4] Soberano do Dia do Juízo.
[1.5] Só a Ti adoramos e só de Ti imploramos ajuda!
[1.6] Guia-nos à senda reta,
[1.7] À senda dos que agraciaste.

Assume I have a table has 4 fields ..they are name,chapter,versno,verse.

so first line of this text file should be $name,secondline should [$chapter.$verseno]$verse.

How can i strip the text.?

here is the code i am trying ..

<?php
$array = file("1.txt");

foreach($array as $row) {

$line = explode(what code goes here ?);

print " $name &nbsp;$chapter&nbsp;$verseno:<br> $verse";
}
?>

any help will be great..

Use newline char (\n) as separator:

$line = explode("\n", $row);

Play with this...

$file = file('file.txt');
for($i = 0; $i < count($file); $i++)
     echo $file[$i] . "<br>\n";

Thank you guys for the quick reply. My main purpose to after striping text put in mysql datbase.

ie.[1.1] Em nome de Deus, o Clemente, o Misericordioso.

How can define variable like this from the text file.
[$chapterno.$verseno]$verse

so i can insert $chapterno.$verson,$verse into database.

line start with @ should be varialbe $name.
