Read .txt table from PHP - php

Question

I'm new in PHP. I'm trying to design a simple Glossary for Primary English Students.
I want to use a .txt as database, exploded by ":". I've got a txt like this:
Hola:Hello
Good Bye: Adios
Car:Coche
Banana:Plátano
Plane:Avión
By the moment I know how to print the whole text or one column, but can't print a single word:
<?php
$file = fopen("bank.txt", "r");
while(!feof($file)) {
echo fgets($file). "<br />";
}
fclose($file);
?>
How can I print only ONE SPECIFIC WORD?
e.g. What code is recquired to print only the second word of the third line?

Answer 1

Like mentioned in the comments... in the future you should inform yourself how to ask questions on SO.
Regarding your question, you should take a look at the explode-function and foreach-loops of PHP.
Example:
$data = 'Hola:Hello
Good Bye: Adios
Car:Coche
Banana:Plátano
Plane:Avión';
$arrData = array();
$lines = explode( "\n", $data );
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$words = explode( ":", $line );
$arrData[] = array( $words[0], $words[1] );
}
echo( $arrData[2][1] );
// Prints: "Coche"

Answer 2

This should work for you:
Just get your file into an array with file(). Then go through each line with array_map() and explode() the line by a : colon.
<?php
$lines = file("test.txt", FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
$lines = array_map(function($v){
return explode(":", $v);
}, $lines);
print_r($lines); //echo $lines[0][1] <- Will print the first line, second word
?>
Or what you could also do, is change your file into a .ini file format, e.g.
Hola="Hello"
Good Bye="Adios"
Car="Coche"
Banana="Plátano"
Plane="Avión"
And then you can simply use parse_ini_file(), e.g.
<?php
$file = parse_ini_file("test.ini");
//^^^^ See also here the extension
print_r($file);
?>
