Start reading a txt with PHP starting from line 2

  • 772

Hello, I am generating the reading of a txt file which has a structure like the following

Cabecera
122121215656565
686846846846846
489498498498498
19894984949444
PiePagina

I am interested in recovering line 2122121215656565

I have tried the following:

//Abriendo el archivo
    $arc = fopen('archivos/' . $nombre, "r");
//Obteniendo una linea completa del archivo txt
    $linea = fgets($arc);
//Cerrando el archivo
    fclose($arc);

With this code it returns me Cabecera, how could I tell PHP to only retrieve line 2, thank you very much in advance and I hope I have been clear

    Well, a solution could be to iterate until you reach the section of the file that you require.

    $file = fopen("test.txt","r");
$i = 0;
$tmp = "";
while(!feof($file))
  {
      $tmp = fgets($file);
      $i++;
      if($i == 2)
          break
  }
echo $tmp;
fclose($file);

    Cheers...

  2. With the file function, you can access the content of the file as if it were an array (each line will be an element of the array):

    
$file = file('file.txt');
$linea = $file[1];
