[PHP] counting number of lines in file() that match a regexp

[Kurt Lieber]

I'm trying to take a text file and count the number of lines that match
a regexp.  I've got it working using the following code:

$data = file("myfile.txt");
$total = 0;
foreach($data as $i) {
        if (ereg("^1,",$i)) {
                $total = $total + 1;
        }
}

but I'm still learning PHP and am wondering if there's an easier/better
way to do this?

Thanks.
