There are a couple of ways:
- If the file is small enough, I suppose you could use the
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php file function, which loads
the file in array (one element per line).
- If the file is bigger, you can use the normal fopen() functionality
and then use http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php fgets().
Hope this helps!

here's an example of a text file I need to read...
abcd|test1|morevalues|otherstuff
efghijklm|a;kd;laskf;alskdjf;alskdf;askldjasldkf|;askd;lakjl;asdf|al;sdjf;alf
I believe each line is seperated by a carriage return.
How can I read this in one line at a time in to a variable?
I'm assuming that I could then explode that variable using the pipe as the seperator
text?
