Bob,3,Monday 12th of February 2001 02:14:17 PM Marry,2,Monday 12th of February 2001 02:16:38 PM This is what I have for code now: // show high scores $lines = file("quiz.txt"); sort($lines); for ($ i=0; $i < count ($lines); $i++){ $thisline = explode(",", $lines[$i]); echo "<br>"; for($j=0; $j < count($thisline);$j++) { echo "$thisline[$j]" ; } Is this possible to do?
