You can read the whole file (file_get_contents) and count the number of "\n" in it, or read it line by line with fgets and store the lines in an array, and then the number of lines is the count() of the array, and you can use that array to store it in the database. Jonathan On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 a

Well, you are reading the whole file there (and throwing the data you read not assigning the fgets result to anything), and then to store it in the database you need to read it again, so you read the file twice. It will probably better to store the data you read the first time in an array and then

Hi, I don't say that reading the whole file into memory is the best option, I just say that your approach goes to the disk twice, if you have a 100MB file, you are reading 200MB from disk (unless there are some pages cached in physical memory, but you never can know, in the best case all the pages
