PHP Reading Files

What's the difference between doing fopen('file.txt', 'r') and file('file.txt') (then using a foreach loop or something) when you're trying to read a file in php?

The difference is in speed and syntax. You can find the comparison of fopen, fgets, file_get_contents on the Internet. I remember that file_get_contents is the most convenient and the fastest way of reading files.
