Question

as I was not able to find a function which retrieves the amount of lines a file has,
do I need to use

$handle = fopen("file.txt");

For($Line=1; $Line<=10; $Line=$Line+1){
 fgets($handle);
}

If feof($handle){
 echo "File has 10 lines or more.";
}Else{
 echo "File has less than 10 lines.";
}

fclose($handle)

or something similar? All I want to know is if the file has more than 10 lines or not :-).

Thanks in advance!

You can get the number of lines using:

$file = 'smth.txt';    
$num_lines = count(file($file));
