If you are in a *nix system, you can do:

$lastLine = exec('tail -1 getCodeGetText. php');

Another option, much more memory intensive (for large files), but
works on any system:

$lines = file('/path/to/filename.txt');
$lastLine = $lines[(count($lines) - 1)];

Or, you could loop the lines like you are doing already and just not
print out the lines;
the last line will be the last iteration through the loop.

while (!feof($file))
$line = fgets($fp,1024) ;

print $line;

WTF? you asked the same stupid question already in sfnet.atk.ohjel mointi
some time ago and you got 3 replies explaing how. How many times must this
be explained to you?

1) a single line, the unoptimized easy way:
echo array_pop(file( ("file.txt") );

2) modifying your code:
$file=fopen("fi le.txt","r");
while (!feof($file)){
$rivi=fgets($fi le,1024);
}
print "$row<BR>";
fclose($file);

3) the real hard-core *nix way:
passthru("tail -n 1 file.txt");
// This one really reads just the last line,
// not all the lines before it. KEWL!

4) using file_get_conten ts and explode just for fun:
$temp = explode("\r\n", file_get_conten ts("file.txt")) ;
echo $temp[sizeof($temp)];

Ur guys,

Have we read http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fseek.php ?

If you read the comments, there are some nice functions there

This one looks good:
<?php
function readLastLine ($file) {
$fp = @fopen($file, "r");

$pos = -1;
$t = " ";
while ($t != "\n") {
if (!fseek($fp, $pos, SEEK_END)) {
$t = fgetc($fp);
$pos = $pos - 1;
} else {
rewind($fp);
break;
}
}
$t = fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
return $t;
}
?>
