Just to offer up another approach (simply to show there are always other options available) here's one using the lovely function: fgetcsv

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$aUsername = array();
$aPassword = array();
$szDbFile  = 'flatfile.txt';

if (is_readable($szDbFile))
{
    $pDb = fopen($szDbFile, 'r');
    while (false !== ($aDbRow = fgetcsv($pDb, 100, '|')))
    {
        if (isset($aDbRow[1]))
        {
            $aUsername[] = $aDbRow[0];
            $aPassword[] = $aDbRow[1];
        }
    }
    fclose($pDb);
}


header('Content-Type: text/plain');
var_dump($aUsername, $aPassword);

There are drawbacks (and advantages) to using this approach, I'll leave discovering those as an exercise for the reader. :)
