Over the summer, I worked on a project in which I needed to parse logfiles which were in the following format:

IP|USE|TIME>IP2|USE2|TIME2>

and so on.

When I parsed them to display the log file in a user-friendly fashion, I used the following code:

$myfile = "FILE NAME HERE";

if(filesize($myfile) == 0) {

        die("");

}

$handle = fopen($myfile, "r");

$mycont = fread($handle, filesize($myfile));

fclose($handle);

$mycont[strlen($mycont) - 1] = "";

$splitd = split(">", $mycont);

$i = 0;

foreach($splitd as $value) {

     $arr[$i] = explode("|", $value);

     $i = $i + 1;

}

$n = $i;

$i = 0;

while($i != $n) {

     // use whatever way you want to print your code

     $i = $i + 1;

}
