I've changed my script to the following: <?php $file ="/var/log/radius.log"; $fp = popen("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file", 'r'); if (! $fp ) { echo 'unable to pipe command'; } while (!feof($fp) ) { $line = fgets($fp); print $line; } ?> And now get the following errors: Warning: Wrong parameter count for fgets() in /var/www/html/logs2.php

line 10 I get this over and over and over (like it's producing the error once

per

line in the log file).

prior to PHP 4.2 you had to use a second parameter for fgets. This parameter is the maximum length per line to read. $line = fget($fp,4096); will probably work. HTH, Oliver

Changed that line as shown above, and now get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fget() in

/var/www/html/logs2.php

on line 11

Sorry. I mean fgets ...

That worked perfectly - now I at least get this: [snip]

Now, how can I force a \n; to make it look like this:

Simply add one. print $line."\n"; should work. Or if your output is html print $line."<br>"; Oliver
