reading content from multiple files into array php
Question
I am struggling with this problem i can't solve.
i have a sequential text file with the following records structured like this:
First Name : ......;
Last Name: ......;
Contact Details:.....;
Email Address:.....;
Enquirer Type:.....;
Contact Method:....;
Message:....';
|----------|
First Name : ......;
..............
I am having trouble displaying the information in a table within the container
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/session_Style.css">
<title>User Session</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div id="table">
<?php
$filename = "Contacts.txt";
$content = file_get_contents($filename);
$fileContent = explode('|----------|', $content);
foreach ($fileContent as $number => $contact) {
echo '<table>';
echo '<tr><th colspan="2">Contact '.$number.'</th></tr>';
foreach ($contact as $detail) {
$detail = explode(':',$detail);
echo '<tr><td>'.$detail[0].'</td><td>'.$detail[1].'</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
}
?>
</div>
<div class="logout">
<h1>User Details</h1>
<form method="post" action="">
<p class="submit"><input type="submit" name="commit" value="Log Out" onclick="document.location.href='home-page.html';"></p>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Is this the right way to implement the solutions provided by you guys? Or is there a way it can be done more efficiently?

Try:
$fileContent[$filenumber] = explode(';',file_get_contents($filename));
$fileContent is an array with file numbers as keys. So the data of the file contact_1 will be stored in $fileContent[1]. explode() will make an array with the file contents, separated by the ';'. You can now for example access the first name of contact_2 with $fileContent[2][0]. This will return: "First Name : ....."
Now for the table:
foreach ($fileContent as $number => $contact) {
echo '<table>';
echo '<tr><th colspan="2">Contact '.$number.'</th></tr>';
foreach ($contact as $detail) {
$detail = explode(':',$detail);
echo '<tr><td>'.$detail[0].'</td><td>'.$detail[1].'</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
}
