Need help modify a script to pull articles from a file

[ninevolt1]

Is there any way to modify the below script to get the last five articles? Right now as it is, it opens an html file and displays on my web page the first 5 articles. I have a need where I will want it to display the last 5 articles. The html file is one huge file with many news articles in it. The script knows where each article starts by looking for the "<!--ARTICLE-->" before each article. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

 

<?php

        require('news_manager/dconfig.php');

 

$filename = "news_manager/camera_summary2.html";

 

#- open article summaries

if(file_exists($filename)){

$fh = fopen($filename, "r");

$old_news = fread($fh, filesize($filename));

fclose($fh);

}

 

 

#- get first five article

$articles = explode("<!--ARTICLE-->", $old_news);

 

$i=0;

foreach ( $articles as $article ){

if(count($articles)>$i){

if($max_latest >= $i++){

print $article;

}

}

}

 

?>

You can try loading them into an array, reversing it, and only displaying the first 5

I don't know PHP very well. Would that be a few lines of code or many pages of code?
