I know, it was already answered before me (you),
I just though that an SQL database is a good advice for these who are trying
to do this kind of jobs.
It is obvious that the reason to use this function is to manage a stored
data in files.
then why not a database, if possible?

Actually, this is really easy without using a database.
1. <?
$filename = "/path/to/file";
$filedata = file($filename);
$linesinfile = count($filedata);
?>
2. <?
$startline = 5;
$stopline = 10;
for ($i = $startline; $i < $stopline; $i++ )
{
echo $filedata[$i-1];
}
?>
(Use $i-1 because the first line is actually "0").
