is there a short way to just read the first line of a file? cuz fread() needs a specific length and the file changes all the time and so I'm lost. Please help!

you might want to try file().. but i wont guarantee any success with it

no I think that you should try something like: fread($open,filesize($file)); Hope that helps....

hi gevorgkhc,
simply use php function fgets:

Code:

string fgets ( resource handle [, int length])

Usage:

PHP Code:

$fp = fopen('/path/to/yourfile.ext','r');

$firstline = fgets($fp,4096);

print $firstline;



//To reread firstline

rewind($fp);

$firstline2=fgets($fp,4096);

print $firstline;
