Only include so many lines?

I'm including a file on a page but I only want it to include some many lines, how do I do this?

Could you please explain what do you want exactly?

Try this:

Code:

&lt;?php
$file = file('http://www.webmaster-resources101.com');
$start = "0"; // Start showing code from this line
$end = "10"; // End showing code from this line

for($x=$start;$x&lt;$end;$x++) {
echo $file[$x];
}
?>

Choose what line you, want to start on and where you want to end. Simple as that

Oh thanks so much! Everyone else is like, just read the php function reference, and I go try and there's like millions of pages and I go crazy.

Oh jeez, I've encountered the biggest problem yet

ops:

When they press enter on the keyboard trying to post

like this

It screws up when it writes, it makes the post more than one line. Is there a way I can set it so that it changes it

from this <br> to this?

**Mr. Tech** · 12th February 2004, 06:18 PM

Where does this happen? Could you send some code?

Yeah sure, when I get home from school

From posting2.php

Code:

$write = fopen("./posts.php",  "w+");  
fwrite($write, "&lt;tr>&lt;td width=20% class='td3'>&lt;p>&lt;b>Posted by: &lt;/b> $email $fname $lname &lt;/a>&lt;br>&lt;b>Date: &lt;/b>$date $agemessage $sexmessage $sitemessage $aimmessage &lt;/td>&lt;td width=80% class='td4'> &nbsp $comments&lt;/p>&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> \r\n $existing");
fclose($write);

I suppose I could just make comments a regular text box to quickly evade the problem...
