convert txt file to array

[Boxerman]

Hey guys,

 

I want to be able to add usernames to a text file, each username will be on a new line:

 

username1

username2

 

for example, the code i'm using currently is:

$userloggedin = $_SESSION['username'];
$usernamelower = strtolower($userloggedin);
$allowed_users = array('username1','username2');
if(!in_array($usernamelower,$allowed_users)) die('Forbidden - Leave now!');

How do i convert the txt file and use it in the $allowed_users array?

Use file()

$allowed_users = file('user.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
