I'm using a text file for a database to a login script. The login script uses explode() to split the line into an array, blah blah...all things skipped, when it reads the line of the file it has an extra character after the line, which I'm assuming is either null truncated or the same as vbCrLf in Visual Basic. I know very little PHP so I was kind of wondering what the equivilant to Left() and Right() are, or if I can just take off the last line of the string, help would be highly appreciated.

I have a PHP book next to me, and I don't know what you're talking about so if you could describe the function and what it relates to I could probably help you.
