Answer 1

If your going to be putting the lines into an array, an assuming a reasonable file size you could try something like this.

$file = 'newline.txt';      
$data = file_get_contents($file);   
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $data);  

/** Output would look like this

Array
(
    [0] => Hello  
    [1] => World   
    [2] => John  
    [3] => play  
    [4] => football  
)
