How can a specific line be read from a text file in PHP?

To read a specific line from a text file in PHP, you can use the `file()` function to read the entire file into an array and then access the desired line by its index. You can specify the line number you want to read and subtract 1 from it to get the correct index in the array. 

$lines = file('file.txt');
$lineNumber = 3; // specify the line number you want to read
$desiredLine = $lines[$lineNumber - 1];
echo $desiredLine;
