Hi all,
In PHP 5, I'm counting the number of lines in a text file using the
following code:
$myfile = file ( '/path/to/myfile.txt');
$count = count ($myfile);
However, sometimes it fails with the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxx bytes exhausted (tried
to allocate 35 bytes) in /path/to/myprogram.php on line 16
Line 16 is the first line above.
I'm sure there is a better - more memory efficient - way to do this. Any
suggestions?
Thanks!
