Re[2]: [PHP] retrieve data from multidimensional array

Hello Jason, It might work but I can not for the life of me figure out how to use it to get the data. Below is what I have so far but don't know where to go from there If I search for a word that is in $row_1 I what it return every line that it is in and there will usually be more than one. This is a virtusertable table for sendmail that I am searching. I need to retrieve data change data and delete data with this script. So far all I have done is separate the data so I can do something with it. I don't know maybe I am going at this all wrong if somebody has a better idea please let me know function bs_file($filename) { $fp = @fopen($filename, "r"); if (!($fp)) { return 0; } while (!feof($fp)) { $temp .= fread($fp, 4096); } $arr = explode("\n", $temp); return $arr; } $filename="./etc/virtusertable"; $file=bs_file($filename); for($i = 0; $i < count($file); $i++){ $value = $file[$i]; $arra = explode(" ", $value); <-this is searching on a tab $row_0 = $arra[0]; $row_1 = $arra[1]; $multi=array($row_0,$row_1); echo "$multi[0]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$multi[1]<br>"; } Saturday, July 20, 2002, 2:33:32 AM, you wrote: JW> On Saturday 20 July 2002 15:49, rdkurth@starband.net wrote: >> I have a multidimensional array.
