foreach...

[junglejim]

i have txt file i need to read all lines from 3rd line onwards..

so this works for whole file....

$f = file("/somefile.txt");
foreach ($f as $list){
$bla = explode("||", $list);
echo" $bla[0]....etc etc...
}

but i only want 3rd line of txt file onwards??

you might want to use a for loop instead of a foreach, or you could throw in a counter that noops the first 3 times through

function partial_file ($filename,$fromtop = 0,$frombottom = 0) {
    //get the entire file
    $ary_contents = file('the_path_to_your_file.txt');

//if we are trimming everything then return an empty array
if(($fromtop + $frombottom) >= count($ary_contents)) {
    return array();
} //end if

//trim lines from the top
for($i=0;$i<$fromtop;$i++) {
    $ary_contents = array_shift($ary_contents);
} //end for

//trim lines from bottom
for($i=0;$i<$frombottom;$i++) {
    $ary_contents = array_pop($ary_contents):
} //end for

return  $ary_contents;
} //end partial_file
