what is the best way to read a text file avoiding text editor issue in php?

Question

The code below are working, but! when the sample text file was edited in other version of text editor.. it wont!!

What is the very best way to read text line by line without the text editor issue using php??

sample text file name - john (line 0) age - 24 (line 1) gender - male (line 2) message - "the message" (line 3)

code

        $result = "";
        $lines = file('sample.txt'); 

        $name= $lines[0];
        $age= $lines[1];
        $gender= $lines[2];
        $message = $lines[3];       

        echo $mail_to;
        echo $port_num;
        echo $phone_num;
        echo $message;

i want to put each line in a variable for a reason... on my notepad++ View->Show Symbol->Show All Charactes each line appeared "CR LF"... but when the other user edited the text file; all line change into "CR" only....

Can PHP handle this issue???

$handle = fopen("sample.txt", "r");
if ($handle) {
    $infos;
    $i = 0;
    while (($line = fgets($handle)) !== false) {
        $info[i++] = $line;
    }
    fclose($handle);
    echo $info[0];
    echo $info[1];
    echo $info[2];
    echo $info[3];
} else {
    // error opening the file.
}

Is there any php configuration like ini_set("auto_detect_line_endings", true); – Bee Jul 21 '15 at 15:40
