PHP - Load vars from file to php variables

Question

I want to import variables from text file to PHP variables: my txt file looks like this:

var1=80
var2=130
var3=250

and i want load them as variables in php like this:

<?php
$var1=80;
$var2=130;
$var3=250;
?>

I tried explode("=", $file); but that prints

Array ( [0] => var1 [1] => 80 var2 [2] => 130 var3 [3] => 250 )

EDIT: I want output like this:

Array ( [var1] => 80 [var2] => 130 [var3] => 250 )

You're not splitting the file into lines. That's what you want to do first. — user824425

$vars = parse_ini_file('filename');
extract($vars);

though I'd keep them in array, by omitting extract() part

+ This is the way to do it.

<?php $vars = parse_ini_file('vars.txt'); extract($vars); print_r($vars); ?> nothing?

Use the built-in parse_ini_file function for loading variables from external files.
