Odd file() behaviour

I have a text file on my server consisting of 26 lines of text. When I call file(), passing it the filename, it returns saying the file has two lines, both of which are blank. If I call readfile() it outputs to the screen the entire file, as expected, except that it is all on one line. Why is file() failing? ======================================================================= Patrick Dunford, Christchurch, NZ - http://pdunford.godzone.net.nz/ I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
