Read a specific line from a file

[kazer]

How would I write a function to read a certain line from a file based upon an argument passed when the function was run?

IE:

echo lineread(1);

function lineread($x) {
$file = fopen("links.inc", "r");
return line($x,$file);
}

I've gotten it working with a while loop to check when it reaches a certain increment, but that doesn't seem very efficient?

try:

function lineread($x){

$lines = file('link.inc');

return $lines[$x];

}

echo lineread(1);
