Gav0 - hmm how can i use this when it's external html file with usernames stored as this

Name<br />
Name<br />
Name<br />
Name2<br />
Name3<br />

Something like this

<?
  $userfile= file_get_contents("testfile.html");
  $users = explode("<br />",$userfile);
  $users = array_unique($users); 
  foreach ($users as $user) {
  list($name) = explode(" ", $user);
  echo "$name";
   }
?>
