fgets() produces a string, but you're saying it's an array.
If you want to fill an array, do this:
$array[] = fgets($datafile, 1000000);

Trim() on an array??? NAY!

Your code doesn't show that $Seper has been set to anything.
You run count on the array itslef, not the explode of array. OH!
Are you trying to take a line that's delimited by a special character
and count the number of "fields" in the line? In that case, back up.
Use fgetcsv (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php):
$array = fgets($datafile, 1000000, $Seper);
$count = count($array);
Of course, you realize, the way this is set up makes the "echo $count"
at the end only show the $count from the last line. To get the total
from the whole file, do this
$count += count($array);

Also, you mentioned that the file is large. You may need to bump up the
memory_limit.
Now, if my later observation is correct about what you're trying to do,
perhaps this is a simpler way to do what you're trying to do:
$array = file('./text.txt');
$content = implode('', $array);
echo substr_count($content, $Seper);
Yeow!
