Taking vars from TXT

Elhombrebala

I have a TXT that looks exactly like this:

var1=34&var2=90&var3=77

I need to recover those variables and also their names, because I wont know the name of the vars, so i need to do a script that can read the vars and convert them to php vars without having any idea of what's is inside txt.
I thought that I can just read "fopen()" the whole txt and add the strings to an address, like :

txtdecoder.php?var1=34&var2=90&var3=77

But some txt are really huge to be send by url.

The final result I need is something like:

$recoverdvar1=var1;
$recoveredvalue1=34;

$recoverdvar2=var2;
$recoveredvalue2=90;

Any hints?

where are these strings comming from? url or file?

Those strings are text in txt files.
The only data I will know is the name of the txt file to be able to fopen() it.

Well I notice that this thread is from too much time ago but... In case someone need a response to this...

Here is

You should use explode function...This is a example I find on
http://nl2.php.net/

<?php
// Example 1
$pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6";
$pieces = explode(" ", $pizza);
echo $pieces[0]; // piece1
echo $pieces[1]; // piece2

// Example 2
$data = "foo::1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh";
list($user, $pass, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $home, $shell) = explode(":", $data);
echo $user; // foo
echo $pass; //

maybe [man]parse_str[/man] would have come in handy? hard to say seeing as this question was asked 6 months ago!

who's draging this stuff up?.

<?php 
//Either of the 2 methods can be used to get data out of file

//$str = join(file("http://" . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . "/" . dirname($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]) . "/blog.txt"), "\n") or die;

//OR

$filename = "data.txt" ;
  $dataFile = fopen( $filename, "r" ) ;
  if ( $dataFile ) {
   while (!feof($dataFile)) {
       $str = fgets($dataFile, 4096);
   }
   fclose($dataFile);
  }
  else {
   die( "fopen failed for $filename" ) ;
   exit();
  }

 $loop=0;
 $explode = explode('&', $str);
 foreach ($explode as $seperateSet){
  $exp1=explode('=',$seperateSet);
  $recoverdvar[$loop]=$exp1[0];
  $recoveredvalue[$loop]=$exp1[1];
  $loop++;
  }
  $varvalue=1;
  for ($j=0;$j<$loop; $j++) {

  echo "recoveredvar$varvalue=". $recoverdvar[$j]."<br/>";
  echo "recoveredvalue$varvalue=".$recoveredvalue[$j]. "<br/>";
  echo "<br/>";
  $varvalue++;
  }
?>
