Would PHP be a good program to use for this project? Has anyone had to
reformat unstructured data to insert into a database? If anyone has any
suggestions or examples please let me know. J

If you have not already, look at regular expressions. imho, by far the
best way to parse reports like this.
php would work fine for parsing this data but I prefer perl's regular
expression methods.
