Reading a certain line of a text file

[Phantom]

How would you read a certain line of a text file? Like if I wanted to read the file, and only print line 2 - no other lines.

2 ways that I know , easiest is ...


<?
$yaks=file('text.txt');
echo $text[2];
?>


you can also fopen the file and set the filepointer to a set position using fseek($bytes) and then fgets($fp,$bytes) , but unless you have a vary large file its frobably more hassle than its worth.

You must have rushed your coding firepages ;), its:

<?
$yaks=file('text.txt');
echo $yaks[2];
?>
