foreach() works on an array, $i is not an array. If you have error reporting 
on you would have caught this. In any case if you're using an outer for-loop 
as you're doing here then there is no need for a foreach().

OK, you can try this:

$file = file("data/ads.data"); 
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
  $line = array_pop($file);

// the following have been copied verbatim from your post
  list($adnr, $user, $date, $listed, $hlong, $eins, $zwei, $drei, $vier, 
$usern, $locst, $locstaa, $locc, $funf, $sech, $email, $Url, $ClassCat, 
$ClassCat2, $Headstart, $Headend, $Descrip, $End1, $Endzwei, $End3, $Endvier, 
$Endfunf, $Endsech, $Endsieben, $Endacht, $Endne, $dreizwei, $dreidrei, 
$dreivier, $dreifunf, $dreisechs ) = split ("\|", $line);
  print " $i  <a 
href=\"classifieds.cgi?session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&db_id=$adnr&query=retrieval\"
 
target=\"_blanko\">$Endzwei $End3</a> <br>"; 
}
