How to jump 7 rows in array

I'm loading a set of txt files into a DB. The first 7 lines of each file are useless to me... I want some way I can always jump those 7 lines... I tought of doing a little function like jumpfirstsevenrows(array), but then I'd have to pass the whole array as parameter and that can get real memory consuming for such a small task. I'll have arrays with more than 100.000 lines... since there are pointers in PHP, I'm lost... I don't wanna have to get the same 'for bla bla bla code' in each and every function that processes this file (there is one function per file, more then 20 overall)... ____________________________ .
