@ScleppelOct 28.2005 — You don't need to use fopen() and fclose() with file().

This is how i would do it:
[code=php]<?php

$lines = file('name.txt');

header('Content-Type: text/plain');

foreach($lines as $line)
{
$parts = explode(',',$line);
foreach($parts as $part)
{
echo trim($part) . "n";
}
echo "n";
}

?>[/code]

@chickenydauthorOct 28.2005 — hi thanx for the help. i just want to know what this line does.

header('Content-Type: text/plain');

@ScleppelOct 28.2005 — It makes the output plain text (like a normal .txt file) instead of PHP's default (ususally) of html (.html,.htm).

Success!
