[PHP-DB] making an array from data in textfile

[Dave W]

OK, so I have this text file that holds a list of ip addresses like this:
127.0.0.1,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.1

Currently, here is my code:

   $file = 'ip.txt';
   $fh = fopen($file, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, filesize($file));
fclose($fh);
$ips = array($theData);

Since it's a numeric array, I shouldn't need quotes around the ip octets.
When I try to echo certain parts of the array like:

echo $ips[0];

It's returning the whole array. The text file is exactly like an array so it
shouldn't be a problem.
