split a file at the carriage return

[mevasquez]

I have a file with multiple lines and I want to parse it into an array to split the file at each carriage return. I am not sure how to do it. I have used split() in the past; however, I am not sure how to do this for a whole file with multiple lines.

TIA
Mike

Thanks, that worked. I have been out of php for about four years. Now I feel like I am re-learning it. There have been some slight changes.

file() as sleipnir214 posts, will split the file into an array using the newline character as the delimiter (but keeping the delimiter at the end of each line).

when you say carriage return do you really mean the CR, or the LF or the combination of the two (CRLF)? if you mean anything other the the LF (alone) then you will need to use a combination of file_get_contents() and explode()

Or set auto_detect_line_endings to "on" in php.ini.
