adam1984 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I created a form that accepts a user's first and last name, and also a script that saves this data to a text file. After each time a user submits the form, the entry is then written to a new line in my txt document (I'm using the \n to achieve this) That part really wasn't a problem. It's the second half of what I'm trying to do that's causing a little confusion. I want to print a summary that includes the number of lines in my text file, as well as the file's size. You'll see from my code that I have been able to do everything except summarize the number of lines in my text file .Any help would be very much appreciated.. here is the code I am working with, and I thank you in advance: ------------------------------------------------ <?php $filename="people_processed.txt"; $fp = fopen ($filename, "r") or die("Couldn't open $filename"); while (! feof($fp)) { $line = fgets($fp, 1024); print "$line<br />"; } // Below is code that will tell me how // big my file size is getting. print "<br />"; print "<br />"; print "The file size of people_processed.txt is "; print filesize("people_processed.txt"); print " bytes." ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/161548-solved-counting-the-lines-of-a-txt-file-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
