Reading a Text File

[R_P]

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?

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.
