This works too.

$fp = fopen($filename,'r');
while($line=fgets($fp))
{
        //do what you need to do with $line
}
fclose($fp);

$array = file($filename);

Each line of the array will have a line of your file.

Or, if you want to do it line by line:

  $fp = fopen($filename,'r');
  while(!feof($fp)) {
    $line = fgets($fp);
  }
  fclose($fp);
