can someone explain how offset works on this function

[scbookz]

file_get_contents  ( string $filename  [, int $flags= 0  [, resource $context  [, int $offset= -1  [, int $maxlen= -1  ]]]] )

 

i want to start getting content down the line not  at the beginning

anyone  have an example?

edit: you would have to use php file system functions, much easier and faster

var_dump($section);
?>
