Note Submitter: e dot maccarthy at csuohio dot edu ---- [[Editors note: using fopen/fgets instead of file() would be more efficient for this task as there is no need to load the entire file into memory]] Here is a quick snippet that will read in N number of lines of a file, then print them. $n=10 $fp = file('/path/to/your/file'); $i=0 while($i < $n){ echo "$fp[$i]"; $i++; } I am using this right now to display the current progress of the seti@home client working on my server, instead of displaying the whole thing, which isn't web page friendly. Because sometimes short really is sweet...
