$fileID = fopen("nicknames.txt", 'r'); $stuff = fread($fileID, filesize("nicknames.txt")); fclose($fileID); if (strlen($stuff) > 0) $priorNickNewLine = "\n"; $nicks = explode("\n", $stuff); <--snip--> I would recommend you to always check if the file was opened successfully. Simply add this after your fopen.. if ($fileID === false) { // 3 '=' signs checks variable type and value die("Error opening file. $php_errormsg"); // you will need track_errors = ON in php.ini to use $php_errormsg.
