Output last lines from .txt file and reverse output

[realWasabi]

I'm trying to output the last 6 lines of a .txt file in reverse order.

 

So if the file consists of this:

 

line1

line2

line3

line4

line5

line6

line7

line8

line9

line10

 

I wan't it to output:

 

line10

line9

line8

line7

line6

line5

 

I can get it to putput the 6 lines in "normal" order just fine, but are having problems reversing it.

 

This is my code: I tried using $i-- but with no luck:

$file = file("logs/accesslog.txt");
for ($i = count($file)-6; $i < count($file); $i++) {
echo $file[$i] . "<br>"; 
}

I would very much prefer not to use array_reverse() function, as the above script is used in quite a few different functions across my site, and modifying this would mean to modify them all.

 

How could I modify it to reverse the output?

$lines = file("logs/accesslog.txt");


for ($pos = count($lines) - 1, $end = $pos - 6; $end < $pos; $pos--) {

  echo $file[$pos], '<br>';

}
