Use the fgetscsv() function. For example: $TaxFile = fopen("./tax.txt", "r"); while ( $TaxArray = fgetcsv($TaxFile, 14) ) { ... blah blah blah .... } In your case, you'll need to add the optional string delimeter parameter because you yave the file split on ":" rather than the default "," So, you'd call fgetcsv($TaxFile, 14, ":") --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y More than just answers.
