How can I read that file start with a or other only.
I know the function file_get_contents will got the string content in file,

function getStartWith($letter){
    $allListStartWithWord = array();
    $source = __SITE_PATH."/tmp/wordsEn.txt";
    $content = file_get_contents($source );
    $all_list = explode('\n', $content ); // it is big one 
    fclose($fh);
   return $allListStartWithWord;    

}

anyone could told me the ways to do that with the large file something like All English Word.

Answer 1

$fp = fopen(__SITE_PATH."/tmp/wordsEn.txt", 'rb');
while (!feof($fp)) {
  $line = fgets($fp);
}
fclose($fp);

Reads the file line by line
