在PHP中使用标记解析文本文件

Question

I have a .txt file that is like this:

Title: Test
Author: zad0xsis
Date: July 13th, 2011
Body: This is a test post and this can continue until the file end

How could I make PHP to recognize the "tags" and make the content to a new string? Thanks in advance! :D

Answer 1

Use strpos() and substr():

function parse($filename)
{
  $lines = file($filename);
  $content = array();
  foreach ($lines as $line)
  {
    $posColon = strpos($line, ":");
    $tag = substr($line, 0, $posColon);
    $body = substr($line, $posColon+1);

    $content[$tag] = trim($body);
  }
  return $content;
}
