There are a couple of ways:
- If the file is small enough, I suppose you could use the
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php file function, which loads
the file in array (one element per line).
- If the file is bigger, you can use the normal fopen() functionality
and then use

I believe each line is seperated by a carriage return.

$array = file($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);

even further, instead of using fgets() to get each line and then exploding
it, you can use fgetcsv() which reads the line and breaks it into chunks by
any delimiter, returning the chunks in an array.
$fp = fopen($filename, r);
while (!feof($fp))
{
$line = fgetcsv($fp, 9, |);
...
}
