2. $FileName = "TabDelimitedFile.txt";
3. $FileHandle = fopen($FileName,"r");
4. $FileContent = fread ($FileHandle,filesize ($FileName));
5. fclose($FileHandle);
6.
7. // You can replace the \t with whichever delimiting character you are
using
8. $SplitContent = explode("\t", $FileContent);
9.
10. foreach($SplitContent as $CurrValue)
11. {
12. echo $CurrValue."|";
13. }
14. ?>
