I have php output like this:
data00,data01,data02,data03, , , and so on
data10,data11,data12,data13, , , and so on
data20,data21,data22,data23, , , and so on
(and so on in rows)
And this php code that generate this data.
<?php
$searchthis = $_GET["sea1"];
$matches = array();
$handle = @fopen("sources.csv", "r");
if ($handle)
{
while (!feof($handle))
{
$buffer = fgets($handle);
if(strpos($buffer, $searchthis) !== FALSE)
$matches[] = $buffer;
}
fclose($handle);
}
//show results:
print_r($matches);
Now I want to show a specific line on a specific column somewhere in the page and if I use:
<?php echo $matches[0]; ?>
it will show me the whole line, and not the specific data that i want. i can make something like this:
$output = echo $matches[0]
but then? how I should use the $output ?? for example if i need the second word instead of or the whole line.
now, after the the answer i update my files to looks like this: pls see if i am somewhere wrong, becouse is now not working.
