Answer 1

Use fopen and fgets , or maybe just file .

Answer 2

There are several ways to read text from files in PHP.

fgets, fread .. , 200 .

Answer 3

file will get the contents of the file and put it in an array. After that, as Jalton said, output the last 200 elements.

Answer 4

This displays the last 200 lines. The last line is the first:

$lines = file("filename.txt");
$top200 = array_slice(array_reverse($lines),0,200);
foreach($top200 as $line)
{
    echo $line . "<br />";
}

Answer 5

<?php
$myfile = fopen("file_name.txt", "r") or die("Unable to open file!");
// Output one character until end-of-file
while(!feof($myfile)) {
   echo fgetc($myfile);
}

fclose($myfile);
?>

You can use this
