G'day all This is probably a really basic question but I'm asking advice because I'm a real newbie and want to start off on the right foot. I'm trying to build a PHP/MySQL workflow tracking system in which each movement of an InDesign file generates a text file which contains the tracking data I want to move into the (MySQL) db. It will contain the operators name, a timestamp and a status (incomplete, pending, complete etc) Because I'm setting up the scripts to generate these tracking files, I'm wondering the best format for them to make the PHP reading easy. I've read about the fgets function but I'm not sure whether reading line by line is better than making the file a list of items and then attempting to read the whole thing into an array. Is either one easier considering the eventual placement into the db? I have cobbled together a working script which reads data from text files into a db but have only done it from files with a single word of data and I'm just not sure the best way to format/handle/read multiple lines or items.
