array problem

[wanaka]

I am writing some script that read through a input file. My input file is using the "|" as a demlimiter. Each line of my input file should have 4 value that I would like to assign them to four variables.

For example line one, $Var1=CPU Summary, $Var2=7 Days, $Var3=CPU_Summary,$Var4=CPU_Summary.inc

Because I am not familiar with array not too sure how should I do it.

My Input File

CPU Summary|7 Days|CPU_Summary|CPU_Summary.inc
CPU Utilization Baseline|7 Days|CPU_Util_Base|CPU_Util_Base.inc

My Script

$myfile = input.txt;
$lines = file($myfile);
$data = array();

foreach ( $lines as $val ) {
$data[] = explode('|', $val);
}

for ($row = 0; $row < 2; $row++)
{
for ($column = 0; $column < 4; $column++)
{
echo $data[$row][$column];
}
}

To split each line into $var1,...,$var4, you could

$myfile = input.txt; 
$lines = file($myfile); 

foreach ( $lines as $val ) { 
    list($var1, $var2, $var3, $var4) = explode('|', $val); 

/*  process variables */
}
