$file_contents = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);
$line = explode("\n", $file_contents);
$text = str_replace("|", "<br>", $line[0]);

echo "<a href='$qw[0]'>$qw[1]</a><br>";

i should have seen it before...

<?php
$filename = "menu.inc";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$file_contents = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);
$line = explode("\n", $file_contents); 
foreach ($line as $qw) {
$qw = explode("|", $qw);  // this line changes
echo "<a href='$qw[0]'>$qw[1]</a><br>";
}
?>

and i thank you kind sir. i missed it too..

thessoro

but why don't you simply cut & paste your code?
and... what's the problem with the code above? It worked for me

If the idea is to get each line from menu.inc into an element in an array, then explode the line to get the url and the link components, then this might be somewhat simpler:

<?php
$lines = file("menu.inc");
foreach ($lines as $line) {
	$line = explode("|", trim($line));
	echo '<a href="' . urlencode($line[0]) . '">' . $line[1] . "</a><br>\n";
}
?>

since it takes advantage of file()
