Good afternoon all.

I have a problem with opening a text file in PHP.

The file is test.txt a comma separated file with 62,000 lines (4Mb) of data.
I have extended the execution time to 200 seconds to allow time to read the
file. The code I am using is below.

    set_time_limit(200);
    $datafile = fopen ("text.txt", "r");
    while (!feof ($datafile)) {
      $array = fgets($datafile, 1000000);
      if (trim($array)) {
        $count = count(explode($Seper, $array));
      } // end if $array
    } // end while
    fclose ($datafile);
    echo $count;

My problem is that the file never finishes. 
The php.exe (running on windows 2000) in the task manager keeps running for
over 20 mins (then I kill it) and explorer keeps waiting for a reply.

Is there a better way to read this file in to check ??
