sometimes we want read file from last line to beginning of file.I use the following.
<?php
function read_backward_line($filename, $lines, $revers = false)
{
$offset = -1;
$c = '';
$read = '';
$i = 0;
$fp = @fopen($filename, "r");
while( $lines && fseek($fp, $offset, SEEK_END) >= 0 ) {
$c = fgetc($fp);
if($c == "\n" || $c == "\r"){
$lines--;
if( $revers ){
$read[$i] = strrev($read[$i]);
$i++;
}
}
if( $revers ) $read[$i] .= $c;
else $read .= $c;
$offset--;
}
fclose ($fp);
if( $revers ){
if($read[$i] == "\n" || $read[$i] == "\r")
array_pop($read);
else $read[$i] = strrev($read[$i]);
return implode('',$read);
}
return strrev(rtrim($read,"\n\r"));
}
?>
Enjoy! Mail me if it works! ;-)
