No, it's not. If the file is large then you could end up reading megs into memory. If physical memory is low then the pagefile will come into play and you'll get a lot of disk accesses. Reading 1 line at a time is far more efficient and with larger files will be faster. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 graphing: RGraph (www.rgraph.net - updated 20th June) PHP mail: RMail (www.phpguru.org/rmail) PHP datagrid: RGrid (www.phpguru.org/rgrid) PHP Template: RTemplate (www.phpguru.org/rtemplate) PHP SMTP: http://www.phpguru.org/smtp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
