Re: Reading Text file by line

Depends on what OS you are: Windows: Search for \n\r (or chr(13) . chr(10)) Unix/linux: Search only for \n (or chr(13)) MAC: Search for only \r (or chr(10)) If you want to READ line by line instead of Exploding your complete content, use this: $myLine = fgets($myFilePointer, 1048576) The 2 problem are that if your line is longer than 1 meg (That means a line of 1048576 characters long without a EOL) then it will not read everything. And the 2nd problem is the EOL (\n\r, \n or \r) is kept with the line, so you have to also implement the code to strip out the \n and/or \r from the end of line.
