You might want to use:-
$aryQbuff = file("/pathto/filename", "r");
You will then have each line of the file in an array.
Then:-
$intNumLines = count($aryQbuff);
for($i=0;$i<=$intNumLines;$i++) {
$intQnum = explode(".", $aryQbuff[$i]);
// $intQnum now has the question number in it
// Do some processing
}
This is just one way - there are plenty of others.
