Bug #11597:

From: dave@icezip.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: File I/O on large files is near impossible with PHP. File() eats way too much ram, and is slow, and the fopen() method is slow and hard to seek to a line where you left off processing at. Perhaps including functions that allow reading a given line of a file, checking the total number of lines, and more speed/ram aware I/O functions to allow processing of log files, and other large files. I'm not a c coder, but I'm more than willing to help in any way I can. Thanks and keep up the good work. --Dave -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11597&edit=1
