Lines in a file

What is the simplest, cheapest way to find out how many
lines are in a
file opened with fopen?

I've got a cli script that reads a very long file and I want
to give
progress feedback.


Cheers,

Trevor

Maybe you could count the number of new lines?
<?PHP

	$text = <<<EOT
This is a test.
Should be 2 lines.
EOT;

	$numlines = count(split("n", $text));
	echo $numlines;

?>

Yeesh, why?  Something that big, you'd think it would belong
in a SQL
dbase of some sort.

With a file that size, any option will be a slow options...
=(

Exactly.  I am converting ragged-right text files to SQL.

Perhaps I could divide the total bytes of file by the bytes
in the
first line of text and use that as a progress indicator?

Anyone know how to get the bytes of a string?  It's all
ASCII text and
spaces... feel free to embarrass me by pointing out how easy
this is.
