note 91705 added to function.file

I might not understand the function correctly, but given the different types of textfiles, sometimes it ouputs the whole file as a string (php rpm version 5.1.6-20). I always use file_get_contents, then split on the newline characters like below: $arrayoflines=preg_split("/\r\n|\n|\r/",file_get_contents($filepath)); That seems to work better for me. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 128.174.124.103 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91705 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91705 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91705 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
