The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PHP

Hi,

I have a text file that has multiple lines.  What I want to be able to do is split each line down into an array of variables and echo out to a page. e.g.

Text file:
120908 file 1
310808 file 2
240708 some other file name


Display on page as:

Day    Month    Year    Description
12      09          08        file 1
31      08          08        file 2
24      07          08        some other file name

I do not know how to do this though.  I can get it to read and display the complete file, but spliting it into groups and echoing it out remains a mystery,  Fields are set lengths so there are spaces for the remaining character, so I guess it can use substr to select a range.

Thanks,

John
