If your input file looks something like this:
fred, Barbados/123, Titanic
sally, Turks/Caicos, Mary Celleste
then the following code will help you get started:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$filename = "test.log";
if( ! ($fd = fopen($filename, "r")) ) {
echo "Cannot open $filename for read<br>\n";
exit;
}
while( $line = fgets($fd, 80) ) {
$values = explode(',', $line); // assumes comma-separated values
?>
<form method="post" action="precmlog.php">
<table width="800" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="40%">
Log sheet completed by:<br> <input class="inform" type="text"
size="30" name="person" value="<?php echo $values[0]; ?>"><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Cruise name/number:<br> <input class="inform" type="text"
size="30" name="cruisenum" value="<?php echo $values[1]; ?>"><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Ship name:<br> <input class="inform" type="text" size="30"
name="shipname" value="<?php echo $values[2]; ?>"><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
}
fclose($fd);
?>
</body>
</html>
