explode help

[e39m5]

this is my explode code in menu.php:

<?php
$FileName="lists/links.php";
$list = file ($FileName);
	list ($mname,$fname,$target,) = explode ("|^|","$list");
		echo ("<a href=\"$fname\" target=\"$target\">$mname</a>");
?>

and this is the code in lists/links.php:

Home|^|home.html|^|_blank

What's the problem?

First problem I see is that file() gathers lines into an array. You're trying to explode on $list like it's a string, but it should be an array.

i dont get wat u just posted, but when i open the file there is a link with the name Array and doesn't goto anythwere, when i look at the source it is blank under href and target

Like I said, [man]file[/man] will return the contents of the file in an array. Each line of the file will be an element of that array. So you'll need to loop

$list=file($FileName);
foreach($list as $line) {
   list($mname,$fname,$target) = explode("|^|",$line);
   echo "<a href=\"".$fname."\" target=\"".$target."\">".$mname."</a>";
}

invalid for each statement, thats the whole code, right

Everything except
$FileName="lists/links.php";
