I just started learning php and need little help.
If i have a text file like this:

name1|location1|message1
name2|location2|message2
ect...

How can I read 1 line at a time, separate each section and display each value ? Then after, goes to next line and repeats until all lines are read.

I know how to read a whole text file, but dont know
how to break it up and display each part separaetly.
any help would be appreciated, thanks

PHP Code:

<?php



function get_news($filepath, $newsid)

{

$datafile = fopen("$filepath/news/$newsid.txt","r");

$data = fread($datafile, 1000000);

list($author, $email, $date, $subject, $body) = explode("|",$data);

$body = stripslashes("$body");

$subject = stripslashes("$subject");

echo "<a href=\"mailto:$email\">$author</a> -- $date -- $subject<hr>$body<p>";

}

?>

sample file:

Simple way for small text files (about 10Mb):

PHP Code:

<?

$arr=file("data.txt");



    foreach($arr as $str)

    {

    list($name,$location,$message)=explode("|",$str);



    echo "<li>".$name;

    echo "<li>".$location;

    echo "<li>".$message;



    echo "<hr>";

    }

?>
