Umm, didn't the prof or book give you a clue? :eek:

file() will read an entire file into a string.

$csv="myfile.txt";
$fp=fopen($csv, 'r');
if ($fp) {
     $data=file($csv);

$data is now an array with the entire csv file in it.

To break this up, use explode().

$lines=explode("\n", $data);

$lines is now an array; $lines[0] is the data on the 1st line of the file....

HTH,

Kat

Hey Kat, what course are you doing? I've been looking for somewhere in Australia that provides Uni courses that involve PHP 🙂 Or is it not melbourne, Australia? :rolleyes:

Kat

Yes Melbourne Australia
I go to Deakin University, in Geelong. they do have a campus in melbourne (burwood) and i think they have this particular unit. The units code is MSC 345 and if you can get your hands on a course guide it is in the the school of business and law. this subject was not part of my course, but an elective i chose to do. however I believe it is part of another course i am just not sure which one.

the course i do is a Bachelor of compouting (computer science and software development). which has a few languages which you have to learn. so far we have do (in order) VB-visual basic, Html and Java, C and this unit is php and Java.

hope that helps
