I'm having a problem with the following code: <?php $file = "http://www.mysite.co.uk/mailing_list_database.list"; $lines = count(file($file)); echo "$lines "; ?> I'm trying to show the number of subscribers to my visitors from a text file, but it returns a value of 1 when it should be 5000. I think it's to do with recognising the line break but I don't know how to make it work!?! (I've looked on php.net for the file, fopen & count functions and can't find anything, although fopen mentions using the -t mode. Any ideas?
