I think you can still use:
function skip7 (&$array){
for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++, next($array));
}
The & should keep the array from being pushed on the stack, or at least it
did in PHP3.
I'm afraid & got rather more complicated in PHP4, so I'm not 100% sure
*what* it would do.

Another possiblity would be to write a function to first figure out where
the 8th line started, and then use fopen/fseek/fread to always skip to that
byte in the file and then start returning lines from there.
