Parsing EDI Files

[stoproductions]

Hello All... I need to parse an EDI file with PHP. I've searched and searched and almost nothing exists out there. If i was a java guy I'd be set but i'm not. Any sugguestions... ideas... or directions you can point me in?

Write the parser yourself. Read the file contents into a string (file_get_contents) and use string manipulation functions to do whatever you need to do with the contents. The few pages I read suggested they're just ASCII text files, so shouldn't be much work.
