yes, its possible,
but its also pissoble for a mouse,

we're doing great aren't we....
It would me much easier to do things in MySQL if you want this
or, a a second option, to store the data in different files,
But WHY all date in 1 large file?????

Yes, you can read a line at a time.

If you want to use text files that contain data (for example csv data)
that you will use to create tables, it would probably be best to have a
separate file containing the data for each table that you wish to create.
You could also write a script off-line to create html tables that are
output as included php files. This would save the resources involved in
repeated conversion to html using php of static data in text files.

If a file contains data for lots of tables, how will you know where in
the file the data for the table that you want is?
Where are you going to store the offsets? And what implications does
that have for things that need to get updated when the table data files
are changed?
What happens when you discover that all your offsets are wrong due to
differences in cr/lf handling?

As others have said in this and previous threads, MySQL is the best tool
for the job. Yes, you can walk from Los Angeles to San Franisco, but
it's a heck of a lot faster and easier to fly.

Actually, I prefer taking the train. I have flown into Oakland airport
many times, and each time, it looked like the plane was going to land in
the water. Finally, I decided it was just too stressful for me, and I
really like trains. I even take my son, and friends, to National Train
Day at Union Station every year.

Damn, is the word thank you not in your vocabulary, idiot?

But don't worry, we all know you have no answer for that.

Doesn't excuse being gracious with free help. Guess manners weren't
something taught in your household. Your mother should be ashamed of
herself for raising you this way.

One of the things he "harasses" you about is your persistent ingratitude for
all of the free help you receive. Would it kill you to *ask* for help, instead
of demanding it? Would it kill you to say "please" and "thank you" once in a
while? Would it kill you to accept the help you're given graciously, without
arguing with and abusing those who offer it? Your failure to engage, *ever*,
in these common courtesies makes you look like a prick.

You are a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Uhh yes, I have. The photos section is updated quite regularly.

Yeah you neglected to quote that in your reply.

No, I CORRECT you when you make a totally incorrect statement.

Yep.

I'm a stalker and a nutcase? You're the idiot who posted my home and
work address to usenet groups, and even threatened to come to my work
and house and kick my ass.
Who's the stalker, bullshit bullis?
No, I don't expect you have the balls to reply.

I intend to do just that next time I travel. It may take a bit longer,
but it's a far more pleasant experience - *especially* given the new
security measures at airports.

The approach into Boston's Logan airport is pretty much the same kind
of experience.
