Simple (I hope) updating contents question

Greetings. First of all I'm a PHP bginner so take it easy on me :) I'm trying to make a script that does the following: * open a text file * read its contents * For each line on the file make a input tag with its contents, like <input type="text" name="line1" value="foo is what we use to ask questions. It doesn't really mean something."> * Take the modified contents - modifyied in the input fields - and update the text file So, I've begun with: 1 <?php 2 $file = "news.txt"; 3 fopen ($file, "r"); 4 $fs = filesize ($file); 5 while (!feof($file)) 6 { 7 $content = (fgets ($file, $fs)); 8 } 9 ?> One thing I didn't understood is the length part of the fgets command... Why use length with it? So, what I'm trying to do in lines 4 and 7 is to make sure it gets the contents by setting length = file size... Am I right on this? How do I split the contents of the file? Because I'm getting the content of both lines in the $content variable... I'm originally a Perl programmer so I know that the "split mark" must be the end of line, but I'm really lost here. Can someone help me?
