Read from file...

[Anon]

I have this *.txt file which I want to output the last 10 lines to screen. When I read the file and output the contents, I get the entire file to screen, without any linebreaks. Could anyone help?

The function nl2br() will convert linebreaks to the html tag <br> this should solve your problem.

Just pass the text you want to print through this function like so:

echo nl2br($text);

That was not the problem, but thanx anyway. 🙂

The problem is how to get the last 10 lines from the document ... not everything in the document.

Read the file into an array using the file() function,
figure out how many lines there are in the array using the count() function,
print the last 10 elements of the array.

<?
$my_array = file(filenamep');
for ($t=sizeof($my_array)-10;$t<sizeof($my_array);$t++)
{
print $my_array[$t];
};
?>

Sorry, you mentioned that you didn't have the ouput show with any linebreaks so I guess I misinterpreted it in my 6am haze. <G>
