You'll need to write a class that will parse, process, and determine what data it pulled from that text file. Assuming of course, the text files will always be in the exact same format. If not, you'd have to take into account any variations when you write your code. Once you can properly parse/read the data properly...you can move on to the next steps.

[Caesar]

Also...you'll likely want to use some regular expressions to determine what's what. :-)

Exactly, what do you mean about class?

[per1os]

You don't have to write a class if you do not know OOP. A class would be nice but not necessary.

 

You would just need a series of functions, one that parses out the data another that takes the parsed data and processes it.

 

The first step though is reading the data into a string or array. I like strings better for parsing but that is just me.

 

Second you need to find the data you want and put them into seperate variables using known and common keys as to say. This might help you on your way:

 

<?php
$file = file('textfile.txt');

list($first,$modes) = spliti('mode:', $file);
list($modes, $scores) = spliti('score', $modes);
list($scores, $stats) = spliti('statistics', $scores);
list($stats, $end) = spliti('If you believe', $stats);
?>

 

Hopefully they gets you started alright.

Someone help me out here. I am trying to get a

better understanding of what is going on with the

script below. Read comments a

 

<?php

// Reads entire file into an array
$file = file('textfile.txt');

/* Ok the list() part is sort of tricky.
For instance, the first line code I am asuming that 
it is suppose to display the 

Mode: Hardcore Ranked 

from the text file. I tried to echo it, but I am getting nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
*/
list($first,$modes) = spliti('mode:', $file);

?>

[per1os]

Shit my bad man, try it this way:

 

<?php
$file = file_get_contents('textfile.txt');

list($first,$modes) = spliti('mode:', $file);
list($modes, $scores) = spliti('score', $modes);
list($scores, $stats) = spliti('statistics', $scores);
list($stats, $end) = spliti('If you believe', $stats);
?>

 

I was giving you the array version when I wanted to give you the string (file_get_contents returns string file returns array)

 

My bad man.

[Trium918]

Ok, now I am getting some output.

I want to know is this the create way

or not?

 

<?php 
# I am calling it like this from
list($modes, $scores) = spliti('score', $modes);
echo "$modes $scores"."<br />"; 
?>

[per1os]

Seems like you are on the right track to me.

 

One side note though, when you split that word is essentially "removed". You may want to do this:

 

<?php 
# I am calling it like this from
list($modes, $scores) = spliti('score', $modes);
echo "Mode: $modes Score $scores"."<br />"; 
?>

 

Just an FYI.

[Trium918]

None what I use

<?php
$fp = fopen("textfile.txt", "r");
?>

In order to read the file line by line to get the

format below?

[per1os]

You would use file to get it in an array

 

<?php
$file = file('textfile.txt');

foreach ($file as $line) {
    echo $line . '<br />';
}
?>

[Trium918]

Ok, my question is this. Do I need both scripts that

frost110 provided?

 

From what I understand I will need

<?php 
# I am calling it like this from
list($modes, $scores) = spliti('score', $modes);
echo "Mode: $modes Score $scores"."<br />"; 
?>

to asign variables and

<?php
$file = file('textfile.txt');

foreach ($file as $line) {
    echo $line . '<br />';
}
?>

to read the entire file.
