smart reading from a text file

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello there fellow coders, i was wondering if one of you wouldnt mind helping me with this problem i seem to have hit:

There is an application which i am currently coding, which writes everything that is searched for into a file called search.txt, basically, it looks like this:

--
Windows XP, http://www.example.com, 26/10/09, 00:00
Tractors, http://www.example2.com, 29/10/09, 04:12
--

I was wondering how i would go about tabulating raw data such as that in a PHP page? I assume it would have to know the comma's were seperators...
If anyone can think of a better way to do this (it is purely a flat-file system) that would be helpful too
