php file to array

Question

I have a text document with a bunch of text and I want to grab each line in "allVersions" and store them to an array.

text document

bible.versions = {
// prebuild version array
versionData: null,

// versions by key
versionsByKey: {},

getVersion: function(key) {
    return this.versionsByKey[key];
},

allVersions: [
'ar_etr',
'ar_vady',
'el_tisch',
'en_kjv',
'en_wbtc',
'fr_s21',
'he_wlc'

],

loadingVersionIndex: -1,

loadingCallback: null,

loadNextVersion: function() {

php

$myarray = file_get_contents('file.js');

resulting array

$myarray = array('ar_etr', 'ar_vady', 'el_tisch', 'en_kjv', 'en_wbtc', 'fr_s21', 'he_wlc');

I think you are looking for the File function in PHP.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file.php

This function reads an entire text file into an array, one line of text per array index.

$myarray = explode('\n', file_get_contents("filename.txt"));

file_get_contents() returns a string containing the file, and explode(<delimiter>, <string>) splits the string into an array based on the delimeter.

But Matt's answer is better:

file("filename.txt")

If your file is supposed to be json then you can use json_decode():

$myarray = json_decode(file_get_contents('file.js'), TRUE);

The second argument of TRUE makes $myarray an array instead of an object.
