how to use dump links

[matrix4495]

hi i am trying to build a adult website.
my affiliate is giving me the data in this format....

{url}|{description}|{model_name}|{image_url}|{date_added}

and the out put is like this

http://the-link-to-the-page|the-title|the-thumbnail|date-and-time|

can you please help me out with a way to use this kind of dump data on a php language. i am a complete newbie in this! :facepalm:

It would depend on how you wanted to use it. And how many are they passing to you and how are you getting them? A file an xml or ????
But say for a file one input per line you one you could do something like this.

<?php
$infile = fopen('indata.txt','r');
$ctr         = 0;
// to retrieve snd store file in an array
while (!feof($infile)) { $datain = fgets($infile,4096); $dataArray[$ctr] = explode('|',$datain); $ctr++; }
// to retrieve data from array  
foreach ($dataArray as $dataout) { echo "<br>url: ".$dataout[0]." ** model name: ".$dataout[1]." ** image url: ".$dataout[2]." ** date added: ".$dataout[3]; } 
?>
