Re: how to delete some lines in a file

Make sure you end the "new" with a carriage return, like "new\n". That will put them all on separate lines. One way you can delete lines is this: $array = file("file.txt"); $deleteline = 8; // what line to delete $fp = fopen("file2.txt","w"); for($i=0;$i<count($array);$i++) { if($i!=$deleteline) fputs($fp,"$array[$i]\n"); } fclose($fp); That code is untested, but should give you and idea on how to proceed.
