PHP File: Reading File at Particular Lines

PHP File Tips - Part 2: If you want to display or read particular line from file, you can use file(). Just remembering tips part 1, file() will generate array from file reading.

<?
$file = "test.txt";

$f = file($file);

// first line
echo $f[0];
// result test line 1 

echo "<br />";

// end line
echo end($f);
// result test line 3 

echo "<br />";

// second line
echo $f[1];
// result test line 2 

echo "<br />";

// line 2 - 3
$arr = array_slice($f,1,2);
$str = implode(",", $arr);
echo $str;
// result test line 2  test line 3 
?>
