Flatfile reading?

[wazza]

I need to know how open a flatfile for reading and submitting in a html form.

heres how the flat file looks.
$field1|$field2|$field3|$field4|

I need to be able to open that file while grabbing only 10 results at a time.

Any ideas?

I use a small technique collect all the values from the flat file in a array.display the first 10 values.

$r is the starting point.
$results=10(10 sets of result)

$x=$r+$results;
ie) for($i=$r;$i<$x;$i++)
{
print $filearray[$i];
}
to get the next set of results pass the starting point in $r


Thus u can display 10 set of results from a flat file.

I hope u got the logic....

Hello,

Ok ive been able to get the code working. Although i have run in to a problem. If any one can take a look and maybe let me know what im doing wrong that`d be great. Problem is that i have the results printing to the page in lots of 5... but each result is the same. Last line in the data file.

Any ways heres the url
