RE: [PHP] Count lines or chars

I guess you could do something like : <?php function countLines($filename) { if(file_exists($filename)) { $linecount=0; $fs = file($filename); while (list ($linenum, $linec) = each($fs)) { $linecount++; } return $linecount; } } $local_file = "/path/to/testfile.txt"; $lines = countLines($local_file); ?> That would count all the lines in the file. /Morten -----Original Message----- From: Markus [mailto:heugi@gmx.ch] Sent: 17. oktober 2003 11:25 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Count lines or chars Hi PHP-gurus :-) I'd like to count the lines within a file and store the result within a variable.
