Now sorry... I already know to use fopen... I want a script that parses
all
lines from a file... Just like a loop that with every time it is
executed,
it echos a line from the file... (this is just a example... else i was
using
file_get_contents and nl2br...)
[/snip]

Well, Bas, the fopen and it's associated manual pages describe just how
to do this. Basic example

$theFile = fopen("myfile.foo", "r"); //open the file for reading
while(!feof($theFile)){ // while the file is not at the end of the file
        $theLine = fgets($theFile, 1024); // get a line, specify a
length
        echo $theLine; // print out the line you just got
} //close the while loop
