include lines of text

i have a txt file with a list of things!

i call this txt file into an html page using..

$file = "bla/bla/file.txt";
include("$file");

how can i only include say lines 1-20
of the txt file on one page.....
and say lines 21- 40 on another etc?

cheers

$in = file($file);
if ($lastLine >= count($file)) $lastLine = count($file) - 1;
for ($i = $firstLine; $i <= $lastLine; $i++)
echo $f[$i];

thx

but i dont get it all...

i just made new post...

i can now count the lines ..but how do i echo just say lines 5 to 10 into an html page from a txt file containing 100's of lines?

cheers

im crap at php!!...sorry

Then, before the code I provided, set
$firstLine = 5;
$lastLine = 10;

If the file is big (i.e. Apache log), you should consider using fopen() and fputs() instead of file(). Check the manual for these.

many thanks....

got it to work!..
