Re: Getting variables from a text file

Hi It looks like a querystring, so read the contents of the file into a variable, then use the parse_str() function on that variable, you can specify if you want them to be stored in an array too. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php Regards Girish -- www.girishnath.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: David Orn Johannsson To: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 2:50 PM Subject: [PHP] Getting variables from a text file I have this text file I have to retreve infromation from, in the fallowing format: date1=1/1/2002&title1=some title&headline1=some headline&full1=full article&date2=2/1/2002&title2=some title&.... and so on what would be the best thing for me to do to if I was to get the values of all the "variables" of the text file into a php document as variables.
