PHP - Returning the last line in a file?

Question

I\'m guessing it\'s fgets, but I can\'t find the specific syntax. I\'m trying to read out (in a string I\'m thinking is easier) the last line added to a log file.

Answer 1

If you want to read a file line by line the file function reads the contents of a file, line by line and returns each line as an element of an array.

So you could do something simple like:

$lines    = file('log.txt');
$lastLine = array_pop($lines);
