Re: [PHP] # of lines in a file
Might not be the most secure way, but very fast... $lines = `cat file.txt | wc -l` That will give you the number of lines...but again not the best method...

file() will read the file into an array, one line per element, so...
$line_to_read = 55;
$file_array = file('file.txt');
echo $file_array[$line_to_read];
Remember that arrays are zero based.

$f = fopen("filename","r");
$data = ""
fclose($f);
$data = ""
$lines = count($data);
$certainline = $data[linenumberyouwant];
Replace filename in both places, and linenumberyouwant.

Re: [PHP] # of lines in a file
You could try... $file = ( "/path/file.ext" ); $lines = sizeof ( $file ); [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey guys, I've been searching the manual for a way to grab the number of lines in a file and read a particular line from it, however I found no solution to my problem so I'm wondering if any of you out there could help me :-) - CS -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
