this will return the file in an array:each element of the array is a line of the file.
then you can do a count to have the numer of elements in the array.
you can get rid of the html tags with a strip_tags.

Hi! thank you so much for your help!!
do you mean to do ob_get_contents() before i do a ob_end_flush()?
but even if i'm successful in counting the number of "\n"s, HTML tags like <html>,<head>,<script> will also give me a count for "\n"s but in actual fact, they do not contribute to the screen output. how can i get round this problem? =(
thanks thanks...
