I think im so close can you help

UKlee

OK I have been on this all weekend trying tio figure this out my head is sore and my eyes square.

now I have beenlooking at the explode function.

<?php
echo "<b>Original text file element for display purpose only</b><br><br>";
//echo out original data for display purpose
$html = join ("",file('http://www.flyukva.com/flyuk/leetestscripts/info.txt')); 
echo $html;
echo "<br><br>";




//call to file gather information
$html = join ("",file('http://www.flyukva.com/flyuk/leetestscripts/info.txt')); 

//$html1=str_replace(':', '-', htmlspecialchars($html));

//prematch all that include the UKV part
preg_match_all("/UKV(.*)/i", $html, $flights); 


echo "<b>Array data</b><br><br>";

print_r(explode(':', $flights[0][0], -1));
echo "<br><br>";
print_r(explode(':', $flights[0][1], -1));
echo"<br>";
echo"<br>";
print_r(explode(':', $flights[0][2], -1));
echo"<br>";
?>

working example click here

i have now select only the UKV elements and placed them in an array It now explodes this array and seperates the different elements based upon the : seperator.

what I cant understand or am failing to grasp is how to grab only a certain element for example UKV1122 from the first array and display that to the screen.

any help would be great i think am close but I could be a million miles away here and feel like am going in circles.

thanks for your time and for taking a look.

kind regards

To use explode with a negative third argument, you need PHP 5.1.0 or higher. What version of PHP are you using?

Display the results from the preg_match_all() first to see what you're getting back. Example:

echo '<pre>', print_r($flights, TRUE), '</pre>';

I am using or should I say the host company is using PHP version 4.3.10.

I have used the code you sugested and the exapmple now echo's out what the prg_match gets.

Am I able to break this down further and then simply take elements of the data from this due to the fact im using that version of php listed above.for example the UKV1122 element and so on taking only the information i wish and echo that back to the screen with the rest of the script and txt not being seen by a visitor,based ont he seperator :.

thanks for your time
