hi all,
im tryin to continuously add to a table
im not too good at php but here is some code that i have

PHP Code:

<?php
$file = fopen ("doc.txt", 'r');
$textArray = array();
while ( !feof($file) ) {
    $textArray[] = fgets($file);
    for ( $i = 0 ; $i<count($textArray) ; $i++ ) {
    list($name) = explode (":", $textArray[$i]);
    print "<td>$name[$i]</td>";
        }
}
?>

i know i am clearly doing something wrong here.
i would like the page to take text from the doc.txt file at every colon ":" and then display it in its own table cells on the page.

so, for instance, if doc.txt contains "how:are:you:doing:" <---without quotes
i would like to display
how
are
you
doing

note that these will all be in their own table cell with using <tr><td></td></tr> tags

any help is much appreciated!

This should work:

PHP Code:

<?php

$file = fopen ("doc.txt", 'r');

$textArray = array();

while ( !feof($file) ) 

{

    $textArray[] = fgets($file);

    

    for ( $i = 0 ; $i<count($textArray) ; $i++ ) 

    {

        $words = explode (":", $textArray[$i]);

        foreach ($words as $word)

        {

            echo $word.'<br>' ;

        }

    }

}

?>

You were exploding out the first word and displaying just the first letter...
This code explodes the current line and then loops through each node and echos it.
