你可以使用fgets()函数逐行读取文件:

$handle = fopen("inputfile.txt", "r");
if ($handle) {
    while (($line = fgets($handle)) !== false) {
        // process the line read.
    }

    fclose($handle);
}

<?php
echo '<meta charset="utf-8">';

$k= 1;
$f= 1;
$fp = fopen("texttranslate.txt", "r");
while(!feof($fp)) {
    $contents = '';
    for($i=1;$i<=1500;$i++){
        echo $k.' -- '. fgets($fp) .'<br>';$k++;
        $contents .= fgets($fp);
    }
    echo '<hr>';
    file_put_contents('Split/new_file_'.$f.'.txt', $contents);$f++;
}
?>

并不是所有的回答中都有显而易见的答案。 PHP有一个整洁的流分隔符解析器，正是为此目的而设计的。

$fp = fopen("/path/to/the/file", "r");
while (($line = stream_get_line($fp, 1024 * 1024, "\n")) !== false) {
  echo $line;
}
fclose($fp);

函数读取数组返回

function read_file($filename = ''){
    $buffer = array();
    $source_file = fopen( $filename, "r" ) or die("Couldn't open $filename");
    while (!feof($source_file)) {
        $buffer[] = fread($source_file, 4096);  // use a buffer of 4KB
    }
    return $buffer;
}

你可以为文件使用一个面向对象的接口类——SplFileObject http://php.net/manual/en/splfileobject.fgets.php (PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)

<?php

$file = new SplFileObject("file.txt");

// Loop until we reach the end of the file.
while (!$file->eof()) {
    // Echo one line from the file.
    echo $file->fgets();
}

// Unset the file to call __destruct(), closing the file handle.
$file = null;

SplFileObject在处理大文件时很有用。

function parse_file($filename)
{
    try {
        $file = new SplFileObject($filename);
    } catch (LogicException $exception) {
        die('SplFileObject : '.$exception->getMessage());
    }
    while ($file->valid()) {
        $line = $file->fgets();
        //do something with $line
    }

    //don't forget to free the file handle.
    $file = null;
}
