You're going to probably want to use the 'fopen' function to open the file for reading and appending.

The 'explode' function should be able to split the different fields

As far as a tabular format, using html to create tables should suffice for that. You can create html in php by using the 'echo' function, this will allow you to interpolate php variables.

i.e echo "<a href=$url>Link</a>";
Where $url would be a php variable containing the URL.
