parsing and displaying a text file

[comatose28]

Hello all, I am having a problem displaying a txt file I have. I have code to parse it but I do not know how to display the information.

The code I have is:
[PHP]<?php
// Process server data
if ( $fdsStatusTXT = file_get_conten ts ( "fdsstatus. txt" ) )
{
$fdsStatusArray = explode ( "\n", $fdsStatusTXT );
// Create gameData array
$gameData = array (
'mode' => $fdsStatusArray[0],
'map' => $fdsStatusArray[1],
'gdi_players' => $fdsStatusArray[2],
'gdi_points' => $fdsStatusArray[3],
'nod_players' => $fdsStatusArray[4],
'nod_points' => $fdsStatusArray[5],
'max_players' => $fdsStatusArray[6],
'timeleft' => $fdsStatusArray[7],
'sfps' => $fdsStatusArray[8]
);

// Create playerData array
for ( $i = 0; $i < $gameData['gdi_players']+$gameData['nod_players']; $i++ )
{
// Explode the appropriate index of $fdsStatusArray into itself
$fdsStatusArray[$i+9] = explode ( "\t", $fdsStatusArray[$i+9] );

// Adjust time field
$fdsStatusArray[$i+9][6] = substr ( $fdsStatusArray[$i+9][6], strpos( $fdsStatusArray[$i+9][6], "." )+1 );
$playerData[$i] = array (
'name' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][0]),
'side' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][1]),
'score' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][2]),
'kills' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][3]),
'deaths' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][4]),
'ping' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][5]),
'time' => trim($fdsStatus Array[$i+9][6])
);
}
}
?>[/PHP]

Hi. Welcome to TSDN!

You may want to take a look at the print_r() function. It's good if you only want to see the contents of an array without any fancy tables and such.

I'm not really sure what you want to do with all that information there.
The code you posted will parse it into arrays, the only thing you would have to do is print it into whatever format you want to view it in.

If you give us a little more info on what exactly you are trying to do, and maybe how much PHP experience you have, we may be able to give you more helpful answers.

I have some phh experience (2 years self taught) and I want to display this in 2 ways: one in a php page that will just display the info (tables not needed) and one in a php page that acts as an image.

Ok.

If you just want the info, nothing fancy, in your PHP page, just do something like this:

echo "<pre>". print_r($myArray, true) ."</pre>";
 

To put it into an image, you would probably want to use the Image Functions. Check out the example on the page there. You probably want something similar to that.
