Question

Can I read a file in PHP from my end, for example if I want to read last 10-20 lines?

And, as I read, if the size of the file is more than 10mbs I start getting erro

You can use fopen and fseek to navigate in file backwards from end. For example

$fp = @fopen($file, "r");
$pos = -2;
while (fgetc($fp) != "\n") {
    fseek($fp, $pos, SEEK_END);
    $pos = $pos - 1;
}
$lastline = fgets($fp);
