Note Submitter: steve at stevemagruder dot com Reason: useless ---- Here's a simple text file to data array converter: function file_to_data($sFileIn, $Separator = "|") { $aFile = array_map("rtrim", file($sFileIn)); $aResult = array(); foreach ($aFile as $FileString) { $aResult[] = explode($Separator, $FileString); } return $arrResult; } Here's an example: File.dat contains... apple|1|red orange|2|orange {eof} Execute function... $aData = file_to_data("File.dat"); Results... $aData[0] $aData[0][0] = "apple" $aData[0][1] = "1" $aData[0][2] = "red" $aData[1] $aData[1][0] = "orange" $aData[1][1] = "2" $aData[1][2] = "orange"
