help read files

[osusano]

hello people i need help on reading a file and parse info inside..

here's a sample

filename: test.txt

inside test.txt

21211|12121|2121|2121
3231|21213|3223|3232
534543|312321|32312|32131

now the way i open the file is like this

$fp = fopen('test.txt', 'r');
while (false !== ($char = fgetc($fp))) { $data .= $char; }
$textMessage = $data;
fclose($fp);

but this is just going to display all..

all i want is to segregate each row and parse each row seperate each field by |

help me with this pls...

You could probably use [man]file/man to create an array of each line as an element, then [man]explode/man to break each line (array element) into another array (at the pipes), then do whatever processing....

take a look at [man]fgetcsv/man
