Need Help Displaying txt or csv into tables...

[about2flip]

Hi:

 

I am a php newbie, and I am trying to display data put into a txt or csv file into tables. I am using this code:

 

<?php

$filename = "data.txt";

$id = fopen($filename, "r");

while ($data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename),";"))

$table[] = $data;

fclose($id);

echo '<table cols="2" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%">';

 

foreach($table as $row)

{

echo "<tr>";

foreach($row as $data)

echo "<td>$data</td>\n";

echo "</tr>\n";

}

echo "</table>\n"

?>

 

It displays correctly, but I need the food in one column and the price per in another or if there is some way I can tab to make it look neater.

 

Shrimp Salad $7.25 Per Person

Albacore Tuna Salad $4.00 Per Person

Hand Picked Chicken Salad $5.00 Per Person

 

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for replying, but where do i place \t.

where ever you want a tab...

This is the result I get from the txt file

 

Shrimp Salad      $7.25 Per Person

Albacore Tuna Salad  $4.00 Per Person

Hand Picked Chicken Salad $5.00 Per Person

 

I want to tab between the name of the sandwich and price

 

This is the line that prints the code, so where would i put \t to push the price over more to the right?

 

echo "<td>$data</td>\n";

ah right, sorry only jsut read properly, looking at that your going to have to have some character in between them and them explode/implode? them into an array, then process that.
