the very simple task i want to accomplish is that i want to load up a text file locally offline (if jQuery) or on server's local (if php) , create an array from the file's lines and then append them to DOM one by one upon a button click, replacing previous line from DOM
I want to make it as simple as possible . my task is to create a MCQ test web app and add up points upon finishing the test/game.

most importantly ! i don't have much experience in php.

Answer 1

A line-oriented approach is a bad idea for DOM, as it's a hierarchical structure and you don't know what you might be cutting into.
For PHP, look for the domdocument class in the online documentation at www.php.net.

Answer 2

well thanks, but i got success in retrieving data with a ultra simple .get() function in jquery.
