Php Update Text From Text File Everyday

Ok so I am trying to make a text appear so something like this

<h1>Text Goes here</h1>

but I wanted that text to be in a text file which would update everyday from a text file which would already have all the text so for example 365 lines of text and this would be using php I have tried it before but I couldnt make it work. Code :

$lines = file("quotes.txt"); $day = date("z"); echo $lines[$day];

If your file contains plain text you will need to convert it to an array before you can get the line you're after. Try this...

$text = file("quotes.txt");

$search = array ("\r\n", "\r");
$text = str_replace($search, "\n", $text);

$array = explode("\n", $text);

$line = date("z");

echo $array[$line];

Also, don't forget it's a leap year this year, you'll need 366 lines of text!
