Trying to get number of e-mails in a txt file to appear on my main page

[netpants]

Ok I have a mailing list, in this mailing list are e-mails, and i need a code or script or what not to put on my main page displaying the number of e-mails that are in the txt file. Like the below sample

There are currently 464 members on this mailing list.

The page it will be on is a .php page so i cant use ssi.
http://www.psycoside.com/prototypeBASE.php in the left menu all the way at the bottom is where it will be. Any help will be appreciated.

if your email file, lets call it email.txt looked like this:

abc@123.com
234@somewhere.com
xbo@woohoo.com
htw@ohno.com

where you have each email address on it's own line, .. then you can use the php script below.

PHP Code:

<?
$array = file("email.txt");
$count=count($array);

echo "There are currently " . $count . " members on this mailing list.";
?>
