fread() to display specified # of lines

[netfrugal]

The following code opens a file and displays the first line only.
This is quite handy, but I need to display up to 10 lines.
Does the fgets() function allow for this, or will I need to create a while() loop?

php.net specifies I can add the second argument of byte size, but I thought I'd ask if there was a way to do what I need without a while() statment.

$file = fopen("myfile.txt","r");
if($file){ 
      echo fgets($file); // shows first line only
 fclose($file);
}

What's wrong with using a loop? Whether while or for (a for loop sounds more appropriate). They won't bite unless you tell them to.

It's not like avoiding them saves time.
