[RESOLVED] Parsing lines to arrays with keys

mrbaseball34

I have some data I'm trying to parse into an array.
It looks something like this:

302 jkahfvaznvhhdffbvhsfbhfbvfvzdfbv
303 jnzgfdvbldbfvjbdfjafbvlafvl
304 zklnfvjkvzvfzhvkzfvkjhzvahvjkzfvj

I need to fill an array names $ar_lines where the keys are 302, 303, and 304 with the values being assigned accordingly.

      $lines = file($myfile);
      foreach($lines as $line_num => $line)
      {
        // need to skip the first line
        if($line_num > 0) {
          $firstsp = strpos($line, ' ');
          // here's where I run into trouble
          $ar_lines[] = trim(substr($line, 0, $firstsp)), trim(substr($line, $firstsp+1)));
        }
      }
      print_r($ar_lines);
      echo "<br>";

I can't figure this one out. explode() with a space doesn't set the keys, it makes the
values I want to be keys array members.

Damn, how can I be so dense???

$ar_lines[trim(substr($line, 0, $firstsp))] = trim(substr($line, $firstsp+1));

explode() worked fine for me...

$lines = file($myfile);
array_shift($lines); // drop first line
$data = array();

foreach($lines as $line) {
	list($key, $value) = explode(' ', $line);

if(strlen($key) > 0 && strlen($value) > 0)
	$data[$key] = $value;
}

with this data:

# This is a test!
302 jkahfvaznvhhdffbvhsfbhfbvfvzdfbv
303 jnzgfdvbldbfvjbdfjafbvlafvl
304 zklnfvjkvzvfzhvkzfvkjhzvahvjkzfvj

produced this:

Array
(
    [302] => jkahfvaznvhhdffbvhsfbhfbvfvzdfbv

[303] => jnzgfdvbldbfvjbdfjafbvlafvl

[304] => zklnfvjkvzvfzhvkzfvkjhzvahvjkzfvj
)

Well, I think I was doing it like this:

$ar_lines[] = explode(' ', $line);
