PHP Array Problems

I have a text file named ip_array.txt, which contains the following:

'192.168.1.1', '127.0.0.1', '72.65.2.1'

Code (markup):

I'm trying to place the following into an array using the following code:

$fh = fopen('ip_array.txt', 'r');
$ip_array = array(fgets($fh));
fclose($fh);

print_r ($ip_array);

PHP:

the output is:

Array ( [0] => '192.168.1.1', '127.0.0.1', '72.65.2.1' ) 

HTML:

Which is not what I want.

I want something like the following:

$ip_array = array('192.168.1.1', '127.0.0.1', '72.65.2.1');
print_r ($ip_array);

PHP:

which outputs the following

Array ( [0] => 192.168.1.1 [1] => 127.0.0.1 [2] => 72.65.2.1 )

HTML:

How would I get it to store the contents from the text file into an array so that it outputs what's on the second example?

Thanks beforehand!

 

$fh = fopen('ip_array.txt', 'r');
$ip_array = array(fgets($fh));
fclose($fh);
$ip_array = explode(",", $ip_array); //explodes into an array
//it seperates the string by any and all commas

print_r ($ip_array);

Code (php):

 

You'll have a much easier time if you store entries on new lines instead of the format you have.

192.168.1.1
127.0.0.1
72.65.2.1

Code (markup):

Then getting your array is as simple as this,

$my_array = file('ip_array.txt');

Code (markup):

 

jBrace you were right on, but joebert's code is more like what i wanted.

Thanks to both!

 

Be sure to trim($my_array[$i]) before using it, the newlines are still going to be attached to the end of each array element.
