try this

PHP Code:

<?php
  $contents = file_get_contents("filename.txt");
  $line_by_line = explode("\n", $contents);
  array_pop($line_by_line); // get rid of the empty line at the end that explode creates
  $results = array();

 $counter = 0;
  foreach ($line_by_line as $line) {
    if($counter % 2 == 0) {
       print "$line\n";
    }
    $counter++;
  }

?>

actually cd34's is the better way, mine was going under the assumption that every other line was blank.. his checks if the line is blank or not.
