Re: Line by line

An easy way to access a file line by line for processing: $lines = file("/file/name/here/") or die ("Unable to open file"); foreach ($lines as $line) { ... processing commands here ... } You could even add a line like: if (sizeof($lines) > 0) { print "Data exists"; } You can use that as opposed to checking to see if the file exists because the "or die" statement will alert youto any possible problems (file doesn't exist, permissions are wrong, etc).
