explode an array

[The Little Guy]

For my PHP class, I need to make a flat file database, I need to search the database and sort all the records, so here is what Im doing (question lies within the code):

 

<?php
$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];
$handle = fopen("../../login.txt","r");
if ($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) {
	$buffer = fgets($handle,4096);
	# Explode each line of the file to make an array
	$value = explode("\n",$buffer);
	# For each line, I need to break down all the values which are seperated by a :
	# My problem lies here, Can I explode a value in an array?
	foreach($value as $record){
		$val = $record;
		$rec = explode(":",$val);
	}
	print_r($rec);
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>

Yes, you can.

 

The print_r() needs to be inside the foreach {} loop or you will only print the final record.

 

Have a look at the file() function

 

$lines = file ("../../login.txt");
foreach ($lines as $value) {
       $rec = explode (':', $value);
       print_r ($rec);
       echo '<br>';
}

echo "<pre>";

print_r ($rec);

 

this will print formatted array

you will basically end up with a 2-dimensional array. the first indices will be each line. and within each indices will be a nested array, with each exploded piece of the line in its own indices. does that make sense?
