Well it's just not coming to me...

[cowboysdude]

currently I have this...

</p>

<!-- overlays for videos -->
<div class="overlay" id="overlay1">
   <a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid1 ?>">
      &nbsp;
   </a>   

</div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay2"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid2 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>

<div class="overlay" id="overlay3"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid3 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay4"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid4 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay5"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid5 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay6"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid6 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay7"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid7 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>

<div class="overlay" id="overlay8"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid8 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay9">
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid9 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>


<div class="overlay" id="overlay10"> 
<a class="player" href="http://localhost/clips/<?php echo $vid10 ?>">
 &nbsp; 
 </a>
 </div>

I would like to transform it into something more like this...

<!-- the playlist. simple HTML controlled with CSS -->
<div id="playlist">
<?php

$lines = file('modules/mod_flowplay/edit/file.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
foreach($lines as $line)
{
    list($filename, $title, $time) = explode('-', $line);
    echo "<a href='$path/$filename'> $title <br />$time";
} 
?>
</div>

<!-- let the rest of the page float normally -->
<br clear="all" />

<!-- END DO NOT CHANGE THIS -->

For starters I know I change the div id but there is where I get into trouble because each overlay div has a number...

Secondly if I'm correct I can just exchange the $filename, $title and $time with other variables to get what I want.. so I guess I go back to question 1...

Thanks in advance

And I'm not sure, exactly, what question 1 was either, but what wrong, since you're already in a loop, with something like:

foreach($lines as $line)
{
    list($filename, $title, $time) = explode('-', $line);
    $n++;
    echo "<div class=\"overlay\" id=\"overlay$n\">";
    echo "<a href='$path/$filename'> $title <br />$time";
    echo "</div";
} 

I'm sure it could be cleaner, but it one way to skin the cat.
