    while(!feof($file)) {
        $line = fgets($file);
        $parts = explode(", ", $text);
        array_push($allMessages, $parts);
    }
    fclose($file);
}

echo '<pre>';

) btw the file consist of names, message (it is separated by comma) it splits it by the explode function but it returned empty string pls help meh

Well I was going to say let's turn IDK into I Do Know by using a var_dump($line) after you assign it in the while loop but then saw the next line where you are using $text and I Dont Know where that is assigned? It looks like a little typo there. — TimBrownlaw, Oct 23 '20 at 09:06

Seems to me that you want to do $parts = explode(", ", $line); because $text is not defined.
