I'm having a problem with the following code:

<?php
$file = "http://www.mysite.co.uk/mailing_list_database.list";
$lines = count(file($file));
echo "$lines ";
?>

I'm trying to show the number of subscribers to my visitors from a
text file, but it returns a value of 1 when it should be 5000.
I think it's to do with recognising the line break but I don't know
how to make it work!?!

(I've looked on php.net for the file, fopen & count functions and
can't find anything, although fopen mentions using the -t mode.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom
