what about a file()?
this will return the file in an array:each element of the array is a line of the file.
then you can do a count to have the numer of elements in the array.


you can get rid of the html tags with a strip_tags.

Hi! thank you so much for your help!!

do you mean to do ob_get_contents() before i do a ob_end_flush()?

but even if i'm successful in counting the number of "\n"s, HTML tags like
<html>,<head>,<script> will also give me a count for "\n"s but in actual
fact, they do not contribute to the screen output. how can i get round this
problem? =(

thanks thanks...
