To read only 5 last lines of the text file, the code is as follows −
Example
$file = file("filename.txt"); for ($i = max(0, count($file)-6); $i < count($file); $i++) { echo $file[$i] . "\n"; }
Output
This will produce the following output −
Given that the file has more than 5 lines of text, the last 5 lines of the text file will be displayed.
The file is opened and the number of lines in the file are counted, and beginning from the last line, 5 lines are read.
