We have a client who wants to output cinema listings on their website. This particular cinema has provided us with a link to retrieve the information from. This link is simply outputted in plain text, with the elements seperated by ~|~

I have set up a curl script to grab this plain text from the url and display it as plain text on the clients website. However I now need a way of pulling this information into div classes so I can style it with CSS. Also there are a few links which I need to format into buttons that link to book the show. 

This is my current code:

```
<?php

function curl_get_file_contents($URL)
    {
        $c = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
        $uf_contents = curl_exec($c);
        curl_close($c);

        $contents = str_replace("~|~"," ",$uf_contents);

        if ($contents) return $contents;
            else return FALSE;
    }

echo "<ul>";
echo curl_get_file_contents("THE URL");
echo "</ul>"

?>

```

All this is doing currently is replacing the separators with a space. I'm really confused on this one and I'm not 100% proficient with PHP. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
