PHP Newbie, Data Question

[perlkid]

In perl I could just go

foreach $line (@data){
(@res)=split(/\|/, $line);
}

To Loop through the data and find certain lines that I need.

How can I do this with php, I learned how to open data bases, (flat file only) but now how can I look in the first field and find a username and then the password for that username in the second field?

So basically how do I loop through data?

Hi perlkid,

you can use the explode function.

$db_line = &quot;user_id|user_password&quot;;
$user_info = explode(&quot;|&quot;, $db_line);


or use the split function,
both return an array.

cheers
