Hi together,
i´m currently working on a php script to read a txt file into a mysql database. but i have several problems i don´t know how to fix.
the file looks like the following example:
category 1
Data1 ::#:: 27
Data2 ::#:: 0
Data3 ::#:: (152)
category 2
Data1 ::#:: 2b3
Data2 ::#:: 234
Data3 ::#:: (1)
the qeuestion i have is how can i parse each line and use the "category" fields as identifier for the tables, the left side of ::#:: as identifier for the row´s and the right side as the data. the problem is collecting the several pieces of data in different variables.
perhaps someone can give me some help or a url where i can find some documentation.
many thanks!
alex
