[PHP] Tailing Files

2002-05-05 Thread Liam MacKenzie 

Hi guys,

just a simple question, how would I go about displaying the last 100 lines
of a log file?
I know that on the command line it's:
tail -n 100 access_log

Is there a PHP function to do this?

Cheers,
Liam

Not that I know of, but the process is pretty simple. Seek to the end of 
the file, then read chunks backwards, spitting out a line each time you 
see a line break.
