Counting Lines in a file.

[Anon]

How can i could the lines in a file?
Each line is a string that has information that needs to be placed into a variable.

I am guessing a WHILE loop, but how can i use this and tell how many lines there are?

Also, in a text file, how can I delete a SPECIFIC LINE out of the file, and add everything else back in?

For counting the number of lines in a file, you could use something similar to this:

$file = file("yourfile.txt");
$number_of_lines = count($file);

Then $number_of_lines would contain the number of lines in your file. As for deleting a line, you could use the $file array holding the file, unset($file[<<your line number here>>]);, then use a foreach($file as $line_num => $text) to write it back out to your file. Hope this helps,
