Answer 1

How about splitting the string you read from the file into an array?

split() function definition.

$string = "Niagara Becks Corn";
$array = split(" ", $string);
# ["Niagara", "Becks", "Corn"]

Answer 2

Use the 'file' function to read a PHP file from the disk into an array. See the manual here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.file.php

Answer 3

All you need to do is:

$words = file('./files/spam.txt',FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

Answer 4

That is not a CSV file. CSV stands for comma separated values. You have no commas!

$spam_words = file('../files/spam.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

Answer 5

Try this

$file = file_get_contents('spam.txt');
$file_words = explode(" ", $file);
$file_count = count($file_words);

for ($i=0; $i < $file_count; $i++){
    echo $file_words[$i] . "<br />";
}

Your spam.txt file should look like this:

yahoo msn google
