Ive got a txt file which is a scoreboard

if i echo it, i get

32.5¬33.2¬36.2¬36.8¬39¬0 cmeeg¬TMM¬Dean¬cmeeg¬ArnIIe¬End 40¬40¬42¬44¬46¬0 TMM¬ArnIIe¬cmeeg¬ArnIIe¬ArnIIe¬End


i want to get the first time (32.5) - I know i can use substr - but the first value might be 32 (not with .5) therefore i need to get the number before the first ¬

how do i achieve this??

Isn't it possible to make the 32: 32.0? Then you can just use substr()

retrieve the whole string, split it into an array, and take the first element of the array.

CODE

$yourarray = explode("-,", $yourstring);
$score = $yourarray[0];

Split every character and put it in one big array. Then find what location the "¬" is, then just take all the all the array elements from the first (0) to the array element one before the "¬"

i think ive sorted it - haven't tried yet, this should work tho... hopefully!!

<?
$fd = fopen( "flash/highscores.txt", "r" );
while (!feof ($fd)) {
$buffer = explode( "¬", fgets($fd,4096) );
print_r( $buffer[0] ); ?> <br> <?
}
echo $txt;
?>
