Ambitious While loop

[JasonGreen]

I have a php file with lines of data.

In order they are 1)pc serial number, 2)month purchased, 3)day of month purchased, 4)number of days serviced(taken away from users), and 4)original cost

each of these values are separated by a space

Is it possible to include 'pcinfo.php' into another php file and use strtok (I'm sure with rtrim) to retrieve all of the data one line at a time (or 4 values at a time) using a While Loop instead of print for each line?

I've been experimenting for days, but am getting very little. Thanks

does pcinfo.php contain php or just data?

file() will read each line in to an array then you can split each line with explode. once its in the final array you can do what you like with it.

Hi,

pcinfo.php is a php file, which is why an array doesn't seem to be optimal, unless I'm doing it wrong. I wanted to loop a strtok command with the goal of using as little code as possible to display the data

[dagon]

not sure what the data is doing in that file if it contains php also?

[JasonGreen]

Sorry for the confusion. I understand and yo make a valid point. Let me show you a bit of what the file looks like

<?php
$serialpurchase =
"GXC1233 5 9 19 1124.95
GXB1F65 3 7 5 795.13
GXF1977 9 4 2 1229.
FXG4986 9 17 5 497.35
etc.

this is why I'd like an easy way to tug it out. Thanks again.

explode $serialpurchase on new line and then space.

Thank you. That was so easy. Now I'm just trying to space everything apart a little, all the numbes are so close together it is difficult to read.

Thanks
