Extract 2 Variables from a text file

[Azaz]

For example:

 

I am using this code:

 

$myFile = "newuser.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, 5);
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;

 

and it displays:

 

 Bob 2 

Which I am reading from my newuser.txt file!

 

Which corresponds to the username bob, and he has the ID of 2.

 

Now I want to make that linkable like this:

 

<a href=.?act=Profile&id=$IDFROMTEXTFILE(2)>$NAMEFROMTEXTFILE(BOB)</a>

 

this is possible? If so, Thanks!

$myFile = "newuser.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, 5);
fclose($fh);
$pices=explode(' ', $theData);
echo "<a href=\".?act=Profile&id=$pices[1]\">$pices[0]</a>";

Thanks!!

 

But my id has more then 1 character it currently only shows 1 digit from my 2digit id any cause why?

 

My id is 73, it only shows 7 hmm?

You're using fread($fh, 5);

 

The number 5 is indicating you only want to read 5 characters, so if you count 'B', 'o', 'b', ' ', '2' that's 5 characters. It stops reading there.

You might want to use fgets() instead, to read the whole line.
