The only way that works fine for me is to read a file char by char. When you
read the \n character add the readen chars in array's position.
Here is an example
$fp = fopen ("myfile","r");
$txtarr = array(); // array to store each line of your file
$linenum = 1; // just a counter
$linetext = ""; // string to put characters. Empty this string when
you move to new line
while ( !feof( $fp ) ){
$ch = fgetc( $fp ); // read a char
$linetext .= $ch; // added to string
if ( $ch=="\n" ){ // is it a new line?
$txtarr[$linenum] = $linetext; // fill your array
$linenum++; // counter ++
$linetext = ""; // empty line string;
}
}
echo $txtarr[0]; // this outputs the1st line of your file
etc.
