    Hello,

    I am extremely new to PHP and I have a question that I think is easy to code, but I've searched and cannot get the right answer.

    I basically have a text file that looks like the following:

    Name,Last Name, Date, Email, comment_name, comment, comment_name, comment, ... , ... , ... ,...

    Now I want to execute all of that but I want to keep repeating from comment_name till there is nothing left after the "," this is because I am allowing many comments with as many names as they want...

    I know that I have to use the while() loop to keep it going and to stop but how?

    thank you

    Yeah, you need to read the whole file into the PHP and put it in an array. After that you can use a while loop to go through it - as it shows in that article.
