Rasmus, If I were going to remanufacture http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php I would add/edit:
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh"; list($user,$pass,$uid,$gid,$gecos,$home,$shell) = explode(":",$data); echo $user."<br>".$pass."<br>".$uid."<br>".$gecos."<br>".$home."<br>".$shell; Thanks again.
