I have a .dat file that contains a bunch of text information. What I need to do via php is be able to upload the .dat file to the server which I know how to do already. However once it is uploaded to the server I am not sure how in PHP to open the file and get what ever value is at the 180th position in the file. The files should all be one row although even if its not I still just need the value from the first row 180th position and take that value and insert it into a mysql database table.
I am looking for any tutorial or documentation on how to do this Thanks all
