Text File to Array - php

Question

I am trying to put my text file into an array..
my text file content is like this:
TP-Link|192.168.1.247|CHANNEL 02|warehouse
Ruckus|192.168.1.248|CHANNEL 03|entrance
anyone can help me to make the output looks like this:
$servers = array(
array(
'name' => 'TP-Link',
'ip' => '192.168.1.247',
'channel' => 'CHANNEL 02',
'location' => 'warehouse',
),
array(
'name' => 'Ruckus',
'ip' => '192.168.1.248',
'channel' => 'CHANNEL 03',
'location' => 'entrance',
),
);
thanks in advance..
this is my code:-
$file="config/data.txt";
$fopen = fopen($file, r);
$fread = fread($fopen,filesize($file));
fclose($fopen);
$remove = "\n";
$split = explode($remove, $fread);
$servers[] = null;
$tab = "|";
foreach ($split as $string)
{
$row = explode($tab, $string);
array_push($servers,$row);
}
the problem is it outputs a multidimensional without array names..
and i am not familiar in multidimensional array..

Answer 1

You can do it like below:-
<?php
$data = file("your text-file path"); // file() read entire file into array
// now your array looks like below:-
$array = array('TP-Link|192.168.1.247|CHANNEL 02|warehouse',
'Ruckus|192.168.1.248|CHANNEL 03|entrance'); // comment this array line while using the code
$keys = array('name','ip','channel','location');
$final_array = array();
foreach ($array as $ar){
$explode = explode('|',$ar);
$final_array[] = array_combine($keys,$explode);
}
echo "<pre/>";print_r($final_array);

You can do something like this. Check out explode and fgets
<?php
$servers_array = array();
$handle = #fopen("inputfile.txt", "r");
if ($handle) {
while (($buffer = fgets($handle)) !== false) {
$line = explode("|", $buffer);
$servers_array[] = array(
"name" => $line[0],
"ip" => $line[1],
"channel" => $line[2],
"location" => $line[3],
)
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>

So if you have a text file consisting of the following, just use the following code to get the output that you want:
<?php
$str="TP-Link|192.168.1.247|CHANNEL 02|warehouse
Ruckus|192.168.1.248|CHANNEL 03|entrance";
echo '<pre>';
$sections=explode("\n",$str);
print_r($sections);
$finalArray=array();
foreach($sections as $line){
$finalArray[]=explode("|",$line);
}
print_r($finalArray);
?>
NOTE: $str is the text that you get from the text file
