Displaying the first 1000 lines of a text file..

[oz11]

<?php
$file = 'information/information.txt';
$orig = file_get_contents($file);
$a = htmlentities($orig);
echo '<code>';
echo '<pre>';
echo $a;
echo '</pre>';
echo '</code>';
?>

I managed to get this code working, however I only want it to display the first "1000 lines" from the file.. how would i go about changing the code to do this? The idea behind the method is so that it takes users HTTP "logged" data and stores the to a text file, i only need the first 1000 lines.

 

Thanks.

Nevermind..

 

found this:

$handle = popen("tail -50l 'information/information.txt' 2>&1", 'r');
echo '<pre>';
while(!feof($handle)) {
    $buffer = fgets($handle);
    echo "$buffer";
    ob_flush();
    flush();
}
echo '</pre>';
pclose($handle);

thanks and enjoi
