The problem in your code is that your function does'nt have a return
statement.
That means that $abc will contain nothing after
$abc = randomline('text.txt');
Here is the code that will work:
<?
function randomline($filename) {
$file = file($filename);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
return $file[rand(0,count($file))];
}
$i = 0;
while (2 > $i) {
$abc = randomline('text.txt');
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "$abc", "$abc", "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$i++;
}
?>

Mails sent!
</BODY>
