Hi, I just learned to query a flat or .txt file into a result ARRAY by line number using ....
//<?php // Get a file into an array. In this example we'll go through HTTP to get // the HTML source of a URL. //$lines = file('http://www.w-ifc.com/test/SCORE.TXT'); // Loop through our array, show HTML source as HTML source; and line numbers too. //foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) { // echo "Line #<b>{$line_num}</b> : " . htmlspecialchars($line) . "<br />\n"; //} //?> and this is the file it processes .....

Though now, im a little lost of the variables aspect and how to address and use them properly. My question as a new amatuer programmer is ... "What direction do I need to go to use the variables assigned so that I can store the info that the script has read into the mySQL DB?" as I would like to keep it functions correct to standard. Thanks ahead for your valuable time. Wik Please, I'm new and I appreciate your patients if this was the WRONG list to post this too. I'm sorry. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
