Need help with file management.

Hey!

I'm making a Stat script for the Game Return To Castle Wolfenstein. I'm having somewhat of a headache trying to figure out this problem.

I want users to upload their server logs, it parses the log, writes nice clean html pages and sends it back to them as a zip.

The problem is that I need to take out the bits and pieces out of the log that is important, and load the individual lines into an array.

Example log:
28:09 Kill: 5 6 21: Rasta killed Fiend by MOD_SNIPERRIFLE
28:11 Item: 5 weapon_mauserRifle
28:12 Kill: 6 5 7: Fiend killed Rasta by MOD_ROCKET_SPLASH
28:13 Item: 3 weapon_panzerfaust
28:14 sayteam: Fiend: ^8>>> ^7Fall Back > Regroup

First off it's the Kill: lines that's interesting.
Anyone know how to sort them out of the file, into an array or any other means?

Something like this might get you started...

<?
$content="28:09 Kill: 5 6 21: Rasta killed Fiend by MOD_SNIPERRIFLE
28:11 Item: 5 weapon_mauserRifle
28:12 Kill: 6 5 7: Fiend killed Rasta by MOD_ROCKET_SPLASH
28:13 Item: 3 weapon_panzerfaust
28:14 sayteam: Fiend: ^8>>> ^7Fall Back > Regroup
";
$line=explode("\n",$content);
for($i=0;$i<count($line);$i++){
	if(ereg("Kill:",$line[$i],$reg)){
		print("$line[$i]<br>");
	}
}
?>

Yeah that would help, but I've already tried it.
I've tried explode and strtok to get it to work, but somewhere along the line it doesn't recognize \n.

This is that part of the code I've tried anyway, all it does it to put everything into $tok[0]

/*
games.log file looks like this- 
28:09 Kill: 5 6 21: Rasta killed Fiend by MOD_SNIPERRIFLE
28:11 Item: 5 weapon_mauserRifle
28:12 Kill: 6 5 7: Fiend killed Rasta by MOD_ROCKET_SPLASH
28:13 Item: 3 weapon_panzerfaust
28:14 sayteam: Fiend: ^8>>> ^7Fall Back > Regroup
 */
$filename = "games.log";

if (@!$file=fopen($filename, "r")) {
	echo "Couldn't open $filename!";
} else {
	$filesize = filesize($filename);
	$raw_data = fread($file, $filesize);

$tok = split("\n", $raw_data);
	for ($i = 0; $i < count($tok); $i++) {
		if (ereg("Kill:", $tok[$i])) {
			echo $tok[$i];
		}		
	}	
}
@fclose($file);

Ok, so you DIDN'T do that. What was posted, and what you posted are completely different things.

First, try using explode.

Second, instead of using $raw_data, try plugging in the actual file. That may help.

Then, to help yourself debug, try printing out the contents of all your information before and after each modification that you do, that way you can see where your code is getting caught up.

echo $variable
//some code here
echo $resultofcodevariable
