Help extract comma delimited info

sks1024

I have a url which is a text file that I want to get some file names out of that is comma delimited.

The file is
http://radar.weather.gov/mhx_NCR_overlayfiles.txt

I want to get the second element image name and store them to use later.

I am trying this but all it returns is the actual URL not the elements.

$data = "http://radar.weather.gov/mhx_NCR_overlayfiles.txt";

list($img) = explode(",", $data);

echo $img;

Any help would be great.

You need to read the file first, perhaps with [man]file_get_contents/man.

EDIT:
Actually, looking at that textfile, [man]file/man with a loop to get each second element may be better. It depends on your requirements and how you want to do it.

ya,

$data = file_get_contents("http://radar.weather.gov/mhx_NCR_overlayfiles.txt");
list($img) = explode(",", $data);
echo $img;
