$fd = fopen ("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r"); // Opens file for reading while (!feof ($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.
