You probably need to use a regexp, so you can accomodate the different types of
white space:
<?php

  $string="1     0     70.208     61.613     1.424      3.689     61.404
0.000      0.000      0.000      0.000      0.000";

    $data = preg_split('/\s+/',$string);
       echo "1: ". $data[0] . " 2: " . $data[1] . " 3: " . $data[2] . " 4: " .
$data[3] . " 5: " . $data[4]

?>

Does that work for you?
Thanks, this worked perfectly!
