$fd = fopen ("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r"); // Opens file for reading
while (!feof ($fd)) // Start of loop.
{
    $buffer = fgets($fd, 4096); // Reads one line of maximum 4096 bytes
    $arr = explode("|", $buffer); // Divides each row into separate elements
in an array.
    echo $arr[4]; // Prints the 5th element of each row.
// The first element ($arr[0]) is actually "" (an empty string) since each
line starts with |.
}
fclose ($fd);

Hopefully this will get you in the right direction.
