Another method would be to using PEAR templating.

Hi all. If I have to read from a text file, and do a query to display all usernames. How can I do it from reading a text file? Please note that as much as I would to use MySQL, I am not allowed to. For example, the text file "test.txt" contains the following: [code]M0001:jlee:James:Lee:23:Lakers Avenue 111/03 Country:123-345678 M0002:tbogard:Terry:Bogard:23:Lakers Avenue 211/03 Country:124-333678 etc..... [/code] The format is memberID:username:first name:last name:age:address:phone In normal mysql queries you would just have to do something like "SELECT username FROM Users" to display all the usernames. However, now that I am using just a text file, how can I do searching, insertion and deletion? Currently, I can only think of tokenizing those data and storing them into an array or linked-list. However, this approach is not that efficient. Can anyone point me in a right direction please? Thanks!
