How can one efficiently skip multiple lines in a CSV file while processing it with PHP?

When processing a CSV file with PHP, you can efficiently skip multiple lines by using a loop to read and discard the unwanted lines. You can achieve this by iterating through the file handle and using `fgetcsv()` function to read each line and then incrementing a counter to determine when to stop skipping lines. 

$csvFile = fopen('example.csv', 'r');
$linesToSkip = 3; // Number of lines to skip
$lineCount = 0;

while (($data = fgetcsv($csvFile)) !== false) {
    $lineCount++;

    if ($lineCount <= $linesToSkip) {
        continue; // Skip lines
    }

    // Process the CSV data here
}

fclose($csvFile);
