Use file() - http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php - to read the contents into an array Then use explode() - http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php - on each line of the array using ':' as the separator to get the IP addresses on the right. You can also use trim() - http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php - to make it easier to test for strings, i.e. "IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . ." in the array.
