Read one line from the text file at a time.
Then use explode to separate it by semicolons.
Haven't ever done it from a text file myself, but something SIMILAR to this
should work:
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<?php
$source_file = file('\\path\\to\\file\\filename.dat');
foreach($source_file as $current_line) {
list($str1, $url1, $int1, $str2) = explode(';', $current_line);
print " <tr>\n";
print " <td><a href="$url1">$str1</a></td>\n";
print " <td>$int1</td>\n";
print " <td>$str2</td>\n";
print " </tr>\n";
}
?>
</table>
