4I use to use this function and I like. but it can kill you server if the file is too big since this function try to load all the file on memory, depending on the file size you need to use fopen and move the cursor

A:
<?php
$cont = file_get_contents("data.txt");
$lines = explode("\n",$cont); // $lines is now an array containing each line
// do something with data here
?>
make sure you use the correct line endings however as Windows uses \r\n and UNIX uses \n.

A:
You'd want to do something like this:
<?
$filename = "somefile.txt";
$arr = file($filename);
foreach($arr as $line){
print $line . "<br />";
}
?>

A:
you can use fopen(), fgets(). see here
eg
$f=fopen("file","r");
if($f){
while (!feof($f)) {
$line = fgets($f, 4096);
print $line;
}
fclose($f);
}
