How can you read a file in PHP and ignore the first line, which contains headers?

When reading a file in PHP and wanting to ignore the first line that contains headers, you can achieve this by using the `fgets()` function to read and discard the first line before processing the rest of the file. By using a loop to read each line of the file, starting from the second line onwards, you can effectively skip the headers and work with the actual data. 

<?php

// Open the file for reading
$file = fopen("data.csv", "r");

// Read and discard the first line (headers)
fgets($file);

// Read the rest of the file line by line
while (($line = fgets($file)) !== false) {
    // Process the data here
    echo $line;
}

// Close the file
fclose($file);

?>
