Reading data from a txt file for editing

    I've seen a few scripts with an admin panel that reads data off a .txt file and then gives you options to delete the set.

    However, they all are md5 encoded txt files, and mine is not.

    Is there a way to read a set of data from a txt file and create an option, and do you have an example?

    Right now I am able to read the data from the txt file using the readfile function, but now I want to edit the values the script is reading.

    Thanks!

    Can you be more specific? An example of the txt file would be good, and what exactly you want to do.

    Ok.

    My script creates the values, and sends it to data.txt in this format:

    fwrite($out,"Family: $user<br />Item: $message<br /><b>Cost: $$cost</b><br />");

    That puts the correct data in the text file. The script has a function that splits all the values with
    The contents of the txt file would be then

    With my current "admin" panel, I can read all the data with the readfile function, but I have no idea how to edit the values I see, such as the family, item, cost, etc... that's what I'm looking for.

    Thanks
