OOPS, don't know if that last email went thru..but i wasn't read to send
it, i'll try again:

$handle = fopen ("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r+");
$i = 0;
$newbody = "";
while (!feof ($handle)) {
    $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
    if($i > 0){
      $newbody .= $buffer;
    }
    $i++;
}
fputs($handle,$newbody);
fclose ($handle);

So anyone have any ideas on how to approach this? Dave said he would
have to research it...

[This may come a second time, damn email delays]

I have a db table that I periodically need to update with a new set of
data. To do this I run a script to empty and reload the table with the
contents of a comma separated value text file. I am working on
automating that a little bit and have a question...
 
The text file that I receive to upload has a line, the first line
specifically, that I need to trim off before the reload happens. The
line is just the field names inserted when it is output from another
table, the line is useless and will cause errors if I simply to a reload
based on this text file with it in there. Example:
 
"id","LocationID","StatusID","KeywordDesc","Zip"  <--------- Trim this
line.
5555,55555,"P","KeywordDesc","50309"
 
I haven't yet done much with file access (fopen...) and to be honest I
am not sure what this problem requires to solve, thought I think I need
to open the file, trim the line, then close the file before doing the
reload with it...
 
If anyone could nudge me in the right direction I would greatly
appreciate it.
