note 50297 added to function.fgets

I couldn't find any code to read just a single, specified line of a file, so I wrote this. <?php function read_line($datafile,$linenum) { $file = fopen($datafile, 'r'); $i=1; while ($i <= $linenum) { $line=""; $line = fgets($file); $i++; } echo $line; fclose($file); } ?> The only inputs required are the filename of the file being opened, and the line number. For example using: <?php echo read_line('sample',2) ?> will read the second line of the file "sample" ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50297 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50297&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50297&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50297&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50297&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50297&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50297&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
