How to read only 5 last line of the text file in PHP?

Question

I have a file named file.txt which is update by adding lines to it.

I am reading it by this code:

$fp = fopen(\"file.txt\", \"r\");
$da         


        

Answer 1

Untested code, but should work:

$file = file("filename.txt");
for ($i = max(0, count($file)-6); $i < count($file); $i++) {
  echo $file[$i] . "\n";
}

Calling max will handle the file being less than 6 lines.
