Returning Arrays

[Anon]

I have a function that does:
return explode("\n",$filestr);

$filestr is the contents of a multiline file (with text on most lines). So theoretically it should return an array, but when I use count() on the value it returns I get 1 no matter what. What am I doing wrong?

Probably something wrong with the assignment where the function is called. The documentation gives one example of how to do it:

I would suggest you to use file() instead of opening a file, get it's content and "explode" it at every \n. file() reads a file and puts each line in an array...

$my_file = file("myfile.ext");

first line = $myfile[0];
second line = $myfile[1];
etc.
