reading a txt file backwards

[Spud_Nic]

I cant use MY SQL for the time being, so I'm storing some user data in a simple txt file... but problem is I want to output the data back to the screen from the last entry... so it reads the txt file from the bottom rather than from the top!!!!

wen it writes to the file it is just appending the data at the end....

anyone know a way to make it read from the bottom of the file up, rather than from the top down?

cheers

I dont know of any particular function that reads a file from the end to the start.

Still, if you were entering entries line by line, then you could always use file() then say, array_reverse()
