Read each line of txt file to new array element
If you don't need any special processing, this should do what you're looking for
$lines = file($filename, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
The fastest way that I've found is:
// Open the file
$fp = @fopen($filename, 'r');
// Add each line to an array
if ($fp) {
$array = explode("\n", fread($fp, filesize($filename)));
}
where $filename is going to be the path & name of your file, eg. ../filename.txt.
Depending how you've set up your text file, you'll have might have to play around with the \n bit.
