[SOLVED] Loading txt file into an array

[sdhunter]

Hi guys, im new here and could do with some help.

I have a text file with items in it that i need to load into an array items.txt

pens

pencils

paints

 

Im loading up my txt file with this code, but its putting all 3 lines from the text file in the first slot on the array as [pens pencils paints].  I would like it to put them into 3 seperate slots [pens],[pencils],[paints].  Hope you can help.  thanks!

$myFile = "items.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));

fclose($fh);
$items = array($theData);
echo $items[0];
