I guess you could do something like : 

<?php

function countLines($filename) {
  if(file_exists($filename)) {
    $linecount=0;
    $fs = file($filename);
    while (list ($linenum, $linec) = each($fs)) {
      $linecount++;
    }
    return $linecount;
  }  
}

$local_file = "/path/to/testfile.txt";
$lines = countLines($local_file);

?>

That would count all the lines in the file.

Subject: [PHP] Count lines or chars

Hi PHP-gurus :-)
I'd like to count the lines within a file and store the result within a
variable. Every line begins with the char %. Would it be easier to count
these chars and how could I do that?
Thanks for your help. markus
