Something like this should work for text files from any platform, the Vertical
Tab conversion is filemaker specific and only really needed if there are line
breaks embedded in the file maker fields.
// Read the entire file as a string
$fp = fopen($Export_ImageBank", "r");
$file_buffer = fread($fp, filesize($Export_ImageBank));
fclose($fp);
// Convert DOS/Windows line breaks (\r\n) to UNIX line breaks (\n)
$file_buffer = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $file_buffer);
// Convert MAC line breaks (\r) to UNIX line breaks (\n)
$file_buffer = str_replace("\r", "\n", $file_buffer);
// Break the string up into an arrray of lines
$file = explode("\n", $file_buffer);
// process each line in turn
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
// Unfilemaker each line (Vertical Tab --> \n), filemaker uses Vertical Tabs
// to represent line breaks inside fields, so we convert them to \n
$line = str_replace("\013", "\n", $line);
