RE: [PHP] importing text file

2001-09-20 Thread Boget, Chris

 I would even go for $Something and just $SomethingMore
 with $Something really being $Something-$SomethingElse. 
 I don't know if that makes sense. 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at file(); and just loop through the resulting array
and removing all the blank elements.

Subject: [PHP] importing text file


I have a text file that is formatted as such 

Something - SomethingElse 
4 blank lines 
SomethingMore 
4 blank lines 
Something - SomethingElse 
4 blank lines 
SomethingMore 
4 blank lines 
and so on 

Anyone have any ideas on what I would use to get this
into seperate 
records that are $Something, $SomethingElse,
$SomethingMore for displaying 
in php or even importing into mysql? 

I would even go for $Something and just $SomethingMore
with $Something 
really being $Something-$SomethingElse. I don't know
if that makes sense.

RE: [PHP] importing text file

2001-09-20 Thread Dominica Anderson

ok here is an example that someone gave me...it
works..it splits up the file but it comes out as

$data_values[0] = Something
$data_values[1] = SomethingElse
$data_values[0] = SomethingMore

$data_values[0] = Something
$data_values[1] = SomethingElse
$data_values[0] = SomethingMore

and so on

how do I get this to where its $Something,
$SomethingElse, $SomethingMore

thanks...


?PHP

$fp = fopen(test.txt,r); 
$file = fread($fp,filesize(test.txt)); 
fclose($fp); 

$records = explode(\n\n\n\n\n,$file); 
foreach($records as $record_num = $data) { 
$data_values = explode( - ,$data); 
foreach($data_values as $data_num = $record) { 
echo \$data_values[$data_num] = $recordbrp; 
} 
}
