Create a table regarding a text file

[Fredo]

Hello,
I have this .txt file :

Roger|tow25$rank259
Isabelle|tow36$rank24
Pascal|tow12$rank29
Sergeï|tow45$rank5
Michel|tow1245$rank45478
Frédéric|tow1$rank125425

And this programm php3
<?php
$fichier = "classeur.txt";
if($fp = fopen($fichier,"r")){
$ligne=1;
echo "<table border=1 bordercolor=\"#00CCFF\" width=500>\n";
echo "<tr align=center><td colspan=3>TITRE</td>";
while (!feof($fp)) {
list( $name, $tampon ) = explode( "|tow", $fp );
list( $tow, $obj ) = explode ( "$rank", $tampon );
echo "\t<tr>";
echo "<td
align=center><b>Nom".$name."</b></td><td>Tow".$tow."</td><td>Obj".$obj."</td

";

echo "</tr>\n";
$ligne++;
echo "</table>\n";
echo "$cell";
fclose($fp);
}else{
echo "Error : open impossible ".$fichier;
exit();
}
?>

I would like to past each value of the lines in the tex file, in 3 variables
$nom; $tow; $obj
and create a table with 3 column ( column 1 the name, in 2 the tow, and in 3
the obj)

But htis not work
There must be an error, but i don't know where.

Thanks by advance

if $rank is undefined "$rank" is parsed by php to ''.
if $rank is "defined" "$rank" is parsed by php to 'defined'.

Either use single-quotes
explode ( '$rank', $tampon );

or escape the dollar sign
explode ( "\$rank", $tampon );

It's not really where the mess is.
In fact my table is created but i have those message :
NomResource id #1 Tow Obj
NomResource id #1 Tow Obj
As i should have
roger Tow25 Obj259
isabelle Tow36 Obj24
My table is created but is empty.
And the prog didn't manage to find the end of the text file as php create a
non-ending table

Indent your code!
I only noticed you lacked a } after *I* indented your code.
<?php
$fichier = 'classeur.txt';
if($fp = fopen($fichier, 'r')) {
$ligne = 1;
echo '<table border="1" bordercolor="#00CCFF" width="500">';
echo '<tr align="center"><td colspan="3">TITRE</td>';
while (!feof($fp)) {

### YOU NEED THIS!!
$data = fgets($fp);

### change the explode parameter
list ($name, $tampon) = explode('|tow', $data);

list ($tow, $obj) = explode('$rank', $tampon);
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td align="center"><b>Nom: ', $name, '</b></td>';
echo '<td>Tow ', $tow, '</td>';
echo '<td>Obj ', $obj, '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
$ligne++;

###
### YOU NEED THIS!!

}

echo '</table>';

### what's this???
echo "$cell";

fclose($fp);
} else {
exit('Error : open impossible ' . $fichier);
}
?>

Thank you a lot, you have helped me to make a biggggg step.

Now, will it be possible to sort the obtained table ? (i would like to sort
it using the TOW key)

Again thank you ..

For that I'd _first_ get the file contents into an array,
then sort the array, and only after all this output it

<?php
function cmp($a, $b) {
if ($a[1] == $b[1]) return 0;
return ($a[1] < $b[1]) ? -1 : 1;
}

$fichier = 'classeur.txt';
preg_match_all('/^(.+)\|tow(.+)\$rank(.+)$/im', implode('', file($fichier)), $data);
foreach ($data[0] as $k=>$v) {
// reorganize $data into $arr
$arr[] = array($data[1][$k], $data[2][$k], $data[3][$k]);
}
unset($data); // not needed anymore
usort($arr, 'cmp'); // sort by TOW

// output
echo "<table>\n";
foreach ($arr as $x) {
echo "<tr><td>";
echo implode('</td><td>', $x);
echo "</td></tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
unset($arr);
?>

Again it works fine..
Now, all we have done was about an example.
The real file i have to wirk with contains those lines

PlayerName=-={P.A.G}=-Barbichette's&GameAndMod=CSports.net rank in Medal Of
Honor: Tug of War&Rank=26&NameID=342676489

And i have adapted your prog to this,
<?php
$fichier = 'rang.txt';
if($fp = fopen($fichier, 'r')) {
$ligne = 1;
echo '<table border="1" bordercolor="#00CCFF" width="500">';
echo '<tr align="center"><td colspan="3">TITRE</td>';
while (!feof($fp)) {
$data = fgets($fp);
list ($name, $tamp) = explode('&Game', $data);
list ($bid, $tamp2) = explode('&Rank=', $tamp);
list ($tow, $tamp3) = explode('&Name', $tamp2);
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td align="center"><b>'. $name. '</b></td>';
echo '<td>'. $tow. '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
$ligne++;
}
echo '</table>';
fclose($fp);
} else {
exit('Error : open impossible ' . $fichier);
}
?>

You can see that in my table i only use $name and $tow
now how should i modified my prog to make a sort by tow number.
I have tried to apply your aray tip, but didn't manage... lol

To sort by tow you have to have all data available.
So you can't echo it line by line as you read the file.

What did you try?
What errors did it generate?
