You get a file to an array of lines with file().
Example:
<?
$myFile = file("text_file.txt");
// Now $myFile is an array looking like
// [0] => "row 1";
// [1] => "row 2";
// [2] => "row 3";
// .....
for ($i = 0; $i < count($myFile); $i++)
{
print "Row ".($i+1).": ".$myFile[$i];
};
?>

Subject: [PHP] Text File open and display
Greetings learned PHP(eople),
There have been a number of postings recently on opening and reading files,
and whilst I have read `em all I fail to make sense of it all.
Basicaly...I have a text file with entries in it...I wish to display the
contents of this file line by line in an HTML table : At present all I get
is a table with 1 row and all the text in it in a large messy blob.....
=====================================================================
<html>
<body>
<?php
$handle = fopen("fopen.txt","r");
echo '<table border="1"'."\n";
echo ' <tr>'."\n";
echo ' <td width="15%"><b>File Entries</b></td>'."\n";
echo ' </tr>'."\n"."\n";
//----------------------------------------
//For each line in the file--------
// while (fpassthru($handle));
//{
//Print them out to Table-----------------
echo ' <tr>'."\n";
echo ' <td width="15%"><font size="2">';
echo fpassthru($handle);
echo '</td></tr>'. "\n";
//}
echo '</table>';
//fclose($handle);
?>
</body>
</html>
=================================================
I have commented out those lines which fail and am stuck as to what the
correct syntax should be. I have read up on nl2br,fgets and other posts on
php.net, but ......harumphhhhhhhh....
Thanks

It is reported that somewhere in the world, every 15 seconds, a woman gives
birth to a child. She must be found and stopped.
