Thank you for the quick reply! I am trying to write a class that can treat a comma seperated values file (CSV) like a database. The problem I am running into is I want to have a function iterate through the file and grab the fields from one line at a time and spit them out. I need a way to grab the fields from one line, store them outside the class, and then go get the next line and start it all over. CSV Example: NAME,PHONE,ADDRESS Bob,555-5555,32 Foo Street Shirley,555-5555,RM 354 Barr Apts I want the function to grab Bob's info, split it into an array, and then pass the array out of the class. Once the array is out of the class (In other words, in my index.php), I want it to get Shirley's info and do the same thing.
