reading last line from file

[Anon]

Hi folks,
What is the best way to read the last line in a text file, as in a list of user names?

For a relatively small file, something like this should work fine:

$lines = file($filename);
$size = sizeof($lines);
if ($size > 0) {
$lastLine = chop($lines[$size-1]);
}
