# of rows in text file?

[NYSiRacer]

Hi, could someone show me how to get the number of rows in a text file? (Don't have any SQL databases)

$data = "whatever\n";
$file = "sometext.txt";
// Assume file already exists
$fp = fopen($file,"r");
$output = fread($fp,filesize($file));
echo $output;
fclose($fp);

Thanks.

use file() and sizeof()
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php

$myFile = file($filename);

$numrow = sizeof($myFile);

this is bad, but VERY usable style 🙂

$file_content=flie('data.txt'); // reading a whole file into array
$file_size_in stings=count($file_content); // getting count of strings

$lines = 0; $lines=@(@file($myfile));
