Read a file, get specific content from it.

[jege]

Hey.

I got a file like this:

#First line some random comment
someplayername=Stealing 
andanother=\u00A7cAsshat

The filetype is .properties

So, how could I read the file, so the player name, the word before the "=" would be stored somewhere and displayed, and the reason, which is after = would be stored and displayd on the page. That's a banlist of a Minecraft server, so It would be a table like "Player name: john" Reason: "Asshat" also, as you can see the Asshat has "\u00A7c" i'm not sure what "language" or "markup" it is, but i know it stands for light red color. So the script should ignore the light red tags if possible.

Thanks in advance.

You'd probably have to parse it with regular expressions. Or, depending on the structure, you might be able to use something like strtok. Or a combination of the two.

Or you could parse this INI file with parse_ini_file

or try something like this (example only.)

 

<?php

$content = file_get_contents('http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9279');

preg_match('#<tr><th>(.*)</th> <td><b>price</b></td></tr>#', $content, $match);
$price = $match[1];

preg_match('#<input type="hidden" name="quantity_on_hand" value="(.*?)">#', $content, $match);
$in_stock = $match[1];

echo "Price: $price - Availability: $in_stock\n";
?>

How is this at all relevant to anything we're discussing?  This parses two distinct values from an HTML document.  The question is on parsing an entire document formatted like an INI file.

Ok, this is my code:

$ini_array = parse_ini_file("$file");

foreach($ini_array as $bans){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><i should get the username here></td>";
echo "<td>$bans</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

I'm totally terrible with arrays, how can I get the username there?

Heres a piece of the array:

Array ( [gamegazelle] => Grief [JamesRB] => Grief)

The variable name is the key:

 

foreach ( $ini_array as $var => $val ) {
  echo "The INI value of {$var} is {$val}<br />\n";
}
