finding the number of the last row in a csv file

[shadiadiph]

is there any known quick way to find out the number of the last row of an csv file apart from opening it on your computer?

No, but its only one line of code.

$num_lines = count(file($file));

works fine on small files but on 127mb file it returns

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 129761280 bytes) in /home/mysitel/publics_html/geoip/cityblockstest.php on line 144

 

using fgets would take too long i think

thanks for that it works but actually fgets with $lines=0; the $lines++ if the while loop works just as well on a big file.
