How do I open a file from line X to line Y in PHP?

Question

The closest I\'ve seen in the PHP docs, is to fread() a given length, but that doesnt specify which line to start from. Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

You not going to be able to read starting from line X because lines can be of arbitrary length. So you will have to read from the start counting the number of lines read to get to line X. For example:

= $startLine) {
        echo $line;
    }
    if ($lineNo == $endLine) {
        break;
    }
}
fclose($f);
