[SOLVED] Extract a specific line from a text file

[Jeroen1000]

Hi everyone,

 

I've made a .txt file with a predefined format.

 

For example:

 

192.168.0.1:Bob:/home/Bob

192.168.0.2:Joe:/home/Joe

 

I found how to get a user's IP address when he/she visites the php page, but now I to read the correct line of that text file into an array.

When Bob visites I would need to build some array like

 
$Array[0]= 192.168.0.1
$Array[1]= Bob
$Array[2]=/home/Bob

 

Can anyone offer advise on how to accomplish this?

$yourfile = "thelog.txt";
foreach(file($yourfile) as $x)
     $data[] = explode(':', $x);
echo "" , print_r($data), "";
