[khalidbaloch]

you did tell us that what kind of table you want to make ..
sql database table or
html table ?

For such a simple (MySQL I presume?) table it is easier to use phpMyAdmin. It's only 6 rows so why write a program to do that? Unless you want to expand in the future.

its a html table my friend

And filling it from PHP variables? Please describe it a bit more, because all I know now is that you want PHP to echo an HTML <table> with 6 rows <tr> and each row 7 cells <td>. As in
[php]
echo "<table>
<tr>
<td>name</td>
<td>age</td>
<td>birthday</td>
<td>address</td>
<td>city</td>
<td>userid</td>
<td>password</td>
</tr>
</table>";
[/php]
But how do you fill that table with the data? Is it from PHP variables, constants, how ?

We can only advise with some sensible code when we know the layout of each text record in your file. We cannot guess at that! So show that layout.

the text file must be used with openfile and the info of that file must be printed in correct place on the table

Seeing your text record layout I still have 3 questions:

1. is the separator between the text fields just a blank character or a comma or anything else?
2. does field 'any name' contain any character INCLUDING BLANKS?
3. can any other field contain embedded blanks?

If you have no field separator (other then blank) and that 'any name' field can contain blanks, the only way to solve this is parse the name from the start of the string. Parse the userid, password and birthday from the end of the string, and wqhat is left is then the family name.
If you have no field separator (other then blank) and all fields can contain blanks, you're in trouble, becasuse there is no way you can distinguish between the various fields.

1.there is nothing beetween them
2.about second just put a text as the way u want it must be printed in family name column.
3.yes they can

[ronverdonk]

So you have an entire and completely unstructured set of data that must be put correctly in a table!
Then see my last reply about this situation
