[RESOLVED] Advanced txt file to html page

[Supernovas]

Ok i want this

<?php

$fp = fopen("http://cerberus.vpsland.com/Highscore.txt", "r");
$data = "";

while(!feof($fp))
{
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
}

echo $data;

?>

which displays Highscore.txt to ignore "-" and "|" and list the people like

1. MantleRage 1485
2. Name Score
   and so on

[aksival]

Is Highscore.txt a file you generate? If so, why not delimit the data like so:

name,score
name,score
name,score
...

Then, you could use file() to retrieve all the data and explode each element back into name and score.

If you aren't generating this file, give us a few sample lines so we can better help you parse it out.

[Supernovas]

Can you maybe do be a guideline code?

[aksival]

$file = file("filename.ext");

foreach( $file as $line ) {
   $data = explode(",", $line);
   echo "Name: $data[0], Score: $data[1]<br />";
}

That is, if your data is stored like this:

name,score
name,score
name,score
...

[Supernovas]

Ah thats cool but i cant change the way the data's stored and its like this

MantleRage-1485|Redemption-1436|Ansem-1340|starr-1253|Sid-1199|Mephisto-1194|DragoonNessX-1114|AlphaPk-1072|Shade-1004|UnderTheMoon-1001|

MantleRage-1485|Redemption-1436|Ansem-1340|starr-1253|Sid-1199|Mephisto-1194|DragoonNessX-1114|AlphaPk-1072|Shade-1004|UnderTheMoon-1001|

Similarly,

$file = file("filename.ext");

$data = explode("|", $file[0]);

foreach( $data as $this_data ) {
   $player = explode("-", $this_data);
   echo "Name: $player[0], Score: $player[1]<br />";
}

[Supernovas]

Excellent ill try this now a+++ even if it doesnt work fopr the attempt

[Supernovas]

well done great script A++

[Supernovas]

ok modified a little and found a slight bug ok see here http://www.cerberusonline.net/highscores.php it comes up a 11th high score is there anyway i can remove that or set it to stop at a maximum of 10

[ClarkF1]

foreach( $data as $key => $this_data ) {
   if ($key < 10)
{
$player = explode("-", $this_data);
   echo "Name: $player[0], Score: $player[1]<br />";
}
} 

[aksival]

It's coming up with 11 because you have an unnecessary delimiter | at the end of the data.
