What I am trying to do, is read a file containing data such as:

code:

---

Admins
{
"[ƒcƒc]± Furry Indigo"
       {
        "auth"      "steam"
        "identity"      "STEAM_0:0:1"
        "group"     "levelmax"
        "immunity"      "998"
    }

"Cherry"
       {
        "auth"      "steam"
        "identity"      "STEAM_0:1:1"
        "group"     "levelmax"
        "immunity"      "997"
    }
  etc
}

---

code:

---

$file = 'admins.cfg';

$mode = 0; $section = $user = $key = "";
$array = array();

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($file); $i++) {
    $c = $file[$i];
    switch ($mode) {
        case 0: // the section name
            if ($c == "{") {
                $section = trim($section);
                $array[$section] = array();
                $mode = 1; // look for a username
            } else {
                $section .= $c;
            }
            break;
        case 1: // user name (before the first ")
            if ($c == "}") {
                $mode = 0; // section is empty
            } else if ($c == '"') {
                $mode = 2; // get the username
            }
            break;
        case 2: // user name (inside the quotes)
            if ($c == '"') {
                $array[$section][$user] = array();
                $mode = 3;
            } else {
                $user .= $c;
            }
            break;
        case 3: // waiting for the {
            if ($c == "{") $mode = 4;
            break;
        case 4: // key (before the first ")
            if ($c == '"') $mode = 5;
            break;
        case 5: // key
            if ($c == '"') {
                $array[$section][$user][$key] = "";
                $mode = 6;
            } else {
                $key .= $c;
            }
            break;
        case 6: // value (before the first ")
            if ($c == '"') $mode = 7;
            break;
        case 7: // value
            if ($c == '"') {
                $key = "";
                $mode = 8;
            } else {
                $array[$section][$user][$key] .= $c;
            }
            break;
        case 8: // waiting for a " (key) or a }
            if ($c == '"') {
                $mode = 5;
            } else if ($c == "}") {
                $user = "";
                $mode = 9;
            }
            break;
        case 9: // waiting for a " (username) or a }
            if ($c == '"') {
                $mode = 2;
            } else if ($c == "}") {
                $section = "";
                $mode = 0;
            }
            break;
    }
}
var_dump($array);

code:

---

array(1) {
  ["Admins"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["[ƒcƒc]± Furry Indigo"]=>
    array(4) {
      ["auth"]=>
      string(5) "steam"
      ["identity"]=>
      string(11) "STEAM_0:0:1"
      ["group"]=>
      string "levelmax"
      ["immunity"]=>
      string(3) "998"
    }
    ["Cherry"]=>
    array(4) {
      ["auth"]=>
      string(5) "steam"
      ["identity"]=>
      string(11) "STEAM_0:1:1"
      ["group"]=>
      string "levelmax"
      ["immunity"]=>
      string(3) "997"
    }

}

why not just use regex to get all the data into an array? should be simple enough for someone on this forum (i cant do it atm because of this fucking heat wave and a massive headache...)

if someone doesnt do it soon, i will help you out... but surely WDZ, spunky, meetc, matty, or someone can help

Regex would be another option, yes, but still, due to my lack of PHP knowledge, I then wouldnt be able to create a table using that array.

ok this is what i came up with, it may not be the most efficient but it still works (with the example that you gave me...)

PHP code:

---

<?php
 
$file = './path/to/file.ext';
 
preg_match_all('/"([^"]*)"\n\s*\{\n\s*"auth"\s*"([^"]*)"\n\s*"identity"\s*"([^"]*)"\n\s*"group"\s*"([^"]*)"\n\s*"immunity"\s*"([^"]*)"/',file_get_contents($file),$matches);
 
echo '<table border="1px solid #000">';
for($i=0;$i<count($matches[0]);$i++){
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[1][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[2][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[3][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[4][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[5][$i].'</td>';
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
 
?>

Im actually running on a windows box, so yeah, a fix for windows would be awesome
Also, would there be a way to sort by immunity, descending?

Thanks, for some reason though, its now only displaying some entries. The php I am using:

PHP code:

---

<?php
 
$file = 'admins.cfg';
 
preg_match_all('/"([^"]*)"\n\s*\{\n\s*"auth"\s*"([^"]*)"\n\s*"identity"\s*"([^"]*)"\n\s*"group"\s*"([^"]*)"\n\s*"immunity"\s*"([^"]*)"/',str_replace("\r\n","\n",file_get_contents($file)),$matches);
 
echo '<table border="1px solid #000">';
for($i=0;$i<count($matches[0]);$i++){
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[1][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[2][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[3][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[4][$i].'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.$matches[5][$i].'</td>';
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
 
?>

I once did something similar. Here is what I used. You might have to make some modifications though. Feel free to ask for help.

Probably should have posted, but Nana has basically perfected his PHP for me, nearly everything works how I hoped it would.
