Line Count in CSV File 1

[cmhunt]

Is there a function to count the amount of lines in a CSV files without manually looping through the whole file and counting them?? I have looked on php.net and couldn't seem to find anything.

Thanks

Chris

There is no such function, to my knowledge.

You could read the file using the file() command.
That puts it into an array where each element is one line (with the line break still attached).
The do a count($myArray) to get the number of lines.

You might also be able to invoke an external program to do the job.

For example, Linux usually is installed with a program called "wc", which can tell you the number of lines in a file.
