[Pugged] Coding Questions

In the interests of efficiency, could you just read the first line outside
of the loop and discard it rather than using a counter? Something like this
perhaps:

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

If that ends up using too much memory, you could use a temp file, move the
fputs into the loop and have it write to the temp file, and after the loop
rename the temp file to the original.
