Re: [PHP] Printing line x in a file
If the file is relatively small, then the easiest would be to use file() which reads a file into an array $file_array=file($filename); $text=$file_array[$line]; cheers, thalis On Sat, 11 May 2002, Andrew Conner wrote: I have a script where I need to get the text from line number $line in file $filename then save it to a var ($text) and then print it.
