read from file with delimiters

[Boris ©avc]

How do I read data from file with delimiters (for instance A;B;ccc;S45A;UU )?
I'd like to write that data to MYSQL table...

Thanks for the help,
Boris Savc

Please don't multipost!

PHP:
Have a look into fgetcsv():

MySQL:
Have a look into LOAD DATA INFILE:

This is -one- way of doing it:

$lines = array(); //Create an array.
$lines = file("my_delime d_data_file.dat ");//Load the lines into the array.
foreach($lines as $line) { //Loop through the array.
list($field1,$f ield2,$field3,$ field4,$field5) = explode(";",$li ne);
//Extract your vars from the line.
mysql_query("IN SERT INTO your_table ('field1',___,' field5')
VALUES(".$field 1.",___,".$fiel d5.")"); //Insert them into the db.
}//End of loop

The ___ part is of course just "fill in the blanks yourself".
The code is of course not complete, but you get the general idea.
