RE: [PHP] Using File to count number of lines
[snip]
When I open the list in notepad everything is on one line with a
square box character.
When I open it in wordpad, it's one email address on each line.
[/snip]
Sounds like that there are not any newline characters in the file. You
could do something like this...
$theFile = fopen("http://www.mysite.co.uk/mailing_list_database.list";,
"r");
while(!feof($theFile)){
$theLine = fgets($theFile, 4096);
$theCount++;
}
fclose($theFile);
echo $theCount;

Re: [PHP] Using File to count number of lines
you sure each is on its own line (\n) ? if you're only getting a value of 1 it is likely putting everything on a single array key..
