[snip] Sorry im new but, how do we read from a file to an array? I've studied C but not with PHP and it's not working for me... Suggestions? [/snip] First, read and understand, as much as possible, TFM. It should go something like this $foo = fopen("my.dat", "r"); while(!feof($foo)){ $bar = fgets($foo, 4096); // gets a line hopefully $glorp[] = $bar; // places line in array } Once you have done this look at http://www.php.net/array for all of the things that you can do with the $glorp array -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
