Re: Odd file() behaviour

Does the file have Unix newlines, PC newlines, or Mac newlines?... Look at it in "vi". If you see a bunch of ^Ms, or if the down arrow button only shows you one or two lines, you know it ain't Unix newlines. Various editors on PC/Mac can "Save As..." Unix file format. Use one. I recommend BBEdit (Mac) and EditPlus (PC). These are religious choices, however, and you are welcome to consult your own oracles for advice. There's a PHP-Editor page out there that lists all your choices somewhere that's been posted to the list a few thousand times... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Dunford" <pdunford.webs@clear.net.nz> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2001 5:22 AM Subject: [PHP] Odd file() behaviour > I have a text file on my server consisting of 26 lines of text.
