PHP get string from line number

Question

I am using php to get the contents of a webpage:

$fileContent = file_get_contents('http://insertwebsitenamehere.com');

Is there a way to seek a line number andreturn the line at that location?

I know you can use SplFileObject::Seek if the fileContent is a file. Can I perform something similar without the need to turn it into a file?

You want file() instead

$fileContent = file('http://insertwebsitenamehere.com');
echo $fileContent[39]; //line 40
