Ok, so I have this tron server which automatically creates several txt files displaying statistics of the game. It'll display the ladder, matches won, rounds won, who's online and so on.

So I want to create a page to display these stats to the user. I originally was going to display them using an iframe which would separate the page into 4 frames...top being who's online, and from left to right the ladder, match won and rounds won

I do a php include "rounds.txt" and it outputs the txt file to the page but there is no organization

So my question would be...how could I import a txt file then organize it to display everything in a clean list. Do I have to import the txt file into a database and then recall the database as a organized list (I've done this before with ASP but never in PHP)

I assumed this would be what I would have to do therefor I have the tron server automatically ftp'ing the stats data to both my personal server (which has php and mysql installed) and to server who is hosting it

If i have to upload the file into a database in order to recall it..How would I go about having the file automatically update to the database every 10 min or w/e? Any advice or linkage on this would be helpful. Until then i'll continue my search on google for the answer

I prefer file_get_contents.

Then you have it in one variable. No need to enter it into a database. And you can parse as you like. I think both functions are good, but the one I am talking about can pull from other sites and the file doesn't need to be on the same server as the webserver.
