How to read specific line from a flat file

[basil]

I have memebr records stored in individual flat files. Different bits of info arfe stoerd on different line. Name on line one, password on line two, etc. I would link to be able to open a member file and read the info from a specific line (say, line 16 for example). Now I know I could do a bunch of fgets in a loop, but is there a way to read a specific line from a flat file?

Thanks in advance (yes, I'm still kinda new to PhP)

Put all data on one line. Seperate by | or ,.

Use file to read it, and then the number of the line as the array element. $myusers = file('userfile.php'); $myusers[5]...
