If the lines terminate in "\n", I'd use fgets($fp,1000) in a loop, and loop
as many times as needed.
$fp=fopen("filename","r") or die ("couldn't open filename");
for ($count=1;$count<=10,$count++)
{
$line=fgets($fp,1000); // the 1000 represents the number of bytes to
go to unless it finds "\n" sooner.
print "$line";
}
I'm prety sure the above will work.
