That's not an UPgrade. That's a CROSSgrade. Some might even call it a
DOWNgrade. ;-)

Definitely owe a tip for that!

<tip type="php trick with tab delimited files">
I recently devised a nice way to turn a tab delimited file into a pretty
html table. Check out the code, probably could be modified to work with
other server parsed languages.

<table cellspacing=1 cellpadding=2 border=0 bgcolor="#000000"><tr><td>
<table cellspacing=1 cellpadding=2 border=0 bgcolor="#EEEEEE"><?

$tdf=file($in_file); //make $in_file a tab delimited file

for ($i;$i<sizeof($dogdoo);$i++) {
    if($c!=" bgcolor='#CCCCCC'") {$c=" bgcolor='#CCCCCC'";} else {$c='';};
        // alternates colors
    $temp = "";
    $temp = ereg_replace("^","<tr valign=top $c><td>",$tdf[$i]);
        // puts <tr> at the beginning of each row
    $temp = ereg_replace("\t","&nbsp</td><td>",$temp);
        // puts </td><td> between tabs
    $temp = ereg_replace("$","</td></tr>\n",$temp);
        // closes each row
    echo $temp;
        // and print!
};      
?></table></td></tr></table>

Quick and dirty, eh? It works because file() puts each individual line of
the file into an array which can be messed with. Cool eh?
