Does anyone know of a way to get php to read a file and then out put it into an array like:

$var[1][2]

where 1 is the line number and 2 is the word? Thanks.

[code]<?php

$lines = file("news_system.ffd");

foreach($lines as $key => $val)
{  
  $data[$key] = explode("||", $val);
}

for($q = 0; $q < sizeof($lines); $q++)
{
  echo $data[$q][0];
  echo $data[$q][1];
  echo $data[$q][2];
}

?>[/code]

There\'s a snippet from my flat file db news script, but this is only putting the different data from the file into an array..... I guess you could try and modify this to get what you\'re looking for though

To get it to explode on the space though so it gives each word... what's the character for space? it's not " "

Where there\'s char 32 and char 106.... 32 is the more used though.. not sure what\'s so special about 106 though.
