R_P Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 So I know how to get the contents of a text file, but I'm wondering if there is a way to retrieve only parts of the file without PHP reading the WHOLE thing. For instance:I have a 50 MB text document. Thats pretty huge and using file() will take PHP a long time to parse it. Seeing as how all I want is the last 10 lines of the file, is there a way to open the text without parsing the whole document and retrieve the last 1o lines?

Barand Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Use fseek() to position at a point, say 2K, from end of file and read from there.Or file_get_contents() using the offset argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
