Reading from Text File

Ok guys I’m a loss here and need some help.

I have a text file that reads like this:

"ID","VID","Make","Model"

That goes on for lots of different objects. Now I have an idea of how I would output to PHP but I’m still a little confused.

Would I do something like fopen and make short name variables for each attribute in quotations above?

// Make short variables
$ID = $_GET['ID'];

And then use those to make a template type thing? Or am I on the wrong track?

BTW the ID, Make etc are on the first line and then each line after that actually has information I need to output to a page. So am I sort of looking at an XML file saved as a text file?

Any help is appreciated.
