    <p>You <code>explode()</code> using space as separator, that's why you are getting each word as an array element. <code>explode()</code> just uses the character you give it and split the string whenever it encounters the character.</p> <p>Your data (the file) hasn't got a pattern. So you need to stablish some rules in the text, or you won't be able to separate the information you want:</p> <p>I modified your text stablishing some rules:</p> <ol> <li>The questions will be finished with a colon(:).</li> <li>The answers will be finished with a dot(.), all of them but the last one, as we will use the number of the question as separator.</li> <li>The questions or answers won't contain any numbers [0-9] or it will confuse the regex.</li> </ol> <p>This is the resulting text I modified manually to make the text work:</p> <pre><code>$string = 'Number Question (a) (b) (c) (d) 1 The most important feature of spiral model is: requirement analysis. risk management. quality management. configuration management 2 The worst type of coupling is: Data coupling. control coupling. stamp coupling. content coupling 3 One of the fault base testing techniques is: unit testing. beta testing.

    3. COI have edited the code to give you a clue how to join it. Use $string instead of $fileContent. About the forms, that's very basic, but I won't write a full tutorial here about forms, google a bit and learn to do it, while you encounter specific problems as here at Stackoverflow

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
