Are you running this php code in windows, where a line break is made up of
a carriage return and a line feed? The file was probably created on
unix/linux where the line break is just a line feed. If you try to read this
file in windows, it will think everything is on one line. You either have to
replace all line feeds with carriage return and then line feed, or read it
in and parse it.

I'm having a problem with the following code:
<?php
$file = " http://www.mysite.co.uk/mailing_list_database.list";;
$lines = count(file($file));
echo "$lines ";

I'm trying to show the number of subscribers to my visitors from a
text file, but it returns a value of 1 when it should be 5000.
I think it's to do with recognising the line break but I don't know
how to make it work!?!
(I've looked on php.net <http://php.net/> for the file, fopen & count
functions and
can't find anything, although fopen mentions using the -t mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Windows is \r\n; unix/linux \n; MAC \r. So the \n gets Windows and Unix/linux/
If it's MAC or can be. then replace all
\r with \n first.
e.g., $str= preg_replace("%(\r\n|\r|\n)%", "\n", $str);
