Someone may have a better way but you can read each line (assuming the file
uses \n for a new record) and use:
arrayname = explode("|",$variable_holding_line_from_file);
Then you can do assign the variables as such:
$name = $arrayname[0]; etc
Could be a better way from the list :)

Subject: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file
> Hi

adds

script,

please?
