If you have a text file.

//numbers.txt
1
2
3

5
6
7

The resulting array (i.e. print_r(file('numbers.txt')); (

is

Array
(
[0] => 1

[1] => 2

[2] => 3

[3] =>

[4] => 5

[5] => 6

[6] => 7
)

which is what I would expect. Nothing so extraordinary about that.

New line or carriage return or whatever is still just a character (or
two characters if you use windows), and the manual spells out quite
clearly what happens.

"Note: Each line in the resulting array will include the line
ending, so you still need to use rtrim() if you do not want the line
ending present."
