Count columns

[sandy1028]

Hi,

 

Please tell me how to count the number of columns in text file....

$lines='db.txt';
foreach ($lines as $line) {
  $text_line = explode(":" , $line);

[MadTechie]

$text_line = explode(":" , $line);
$X = count($text_line); //<--$X will be the columns 

 

so for the whole file

 

$X = 0;
$lines='db.txt';
foreach ($lines as $line) {
  $text_line = explode(":" , $line);
$X = $X+ count($text_line);
}
echo "$X: columns ";
