First 16 characters in a file?

[Anon]

I need to get the first 16 characters in a .log file of mine. I've been able to get it down to a single line and store it in a array but not jut the first 16 characters. Can some one show me how?

<?
$file = fopen($myfile,"r");
echo fread($file,16);
?>

good luck.
