note 56554 added to function.file

Here is a function that is similar to 'tail' on *nix systems. <?php function viewLog($log, $lines, $start, $end) { global $vars; global $style; $file = file($log); $file = array_reverse($file); for ($line = 0; $line < $lines; $line++) { if (isset($file[$line])) { echo $file[$line] . $end; } } unset($file) } ?> You use it like viewLog("/apache/logs/access.log", 10, "", "<br>"); this would display the ten most recent lines from /apache/logs/access.log and ending each line with a <br>. If you wanted each line in a table row, you could do this: viewLog("/apache/logs/access.log", 10, "<tr><td>", "</td></tr>"); Manual: viewLog(string logfile, int lines to display, string start_line, string end_line); Hope this helps someone! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56554 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56554&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56554&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56554&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56554&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56554&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56554&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56554&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
