Re: Reading from a file

$data = file('c:\file.txt'); for($counter = 0; $counter < count($data); $counter++) $data[$counter] = explode("\t",$data[$counter]); Poof. For: bob nina jim joe You will get: $data[0][0] = 'bob'; $data[0][1] = 'nina'; $data[0][2] = 'jim'; $data[0][3] = 'joe'; Nice and easy to recurse through.
