note 62774 added to function.fgets

I think that the quickest way of read a (long) file with the rows in reverse order is <?php $myfile = 'myfile.txt'; $command = "tac $myfile > /tmp/myfilereversed.txt"; passthru($command); $ic = 0; $ic_max = 100; // stops after this number of rows $handle = fopen("/tmp/myfilereversed.txt", "r"); while (!feof($handle) && ++$ic<=$ic_max) { $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096); echo $buffer."<br>"; } fclose($handle); ?> It echos the rows while it is reading the file so it is good for long files like logs.
