Faisal, welcome to The Scripts.
Reading an entire file in one go into an array (1 line per entry) might be the easiest wsy of doing this. Therefore you use the PHP file() command. See documention file() command

Thanks Ronald,
Well, as i already said I am so bad in looping :(
Can you please write a small code in which i can read the content of "shoutboxdb.txt " file in reverse Action???
Thanks..
FAISAL!
Do you mean that you want ASCII characters to be read from right to left? Like when the text line says left-to-right:
you want to read it in as left-to-right:
If that is the case and assuming you have this file content. - abcdefghijkl-1
-
dfgheritops-2
-
nxvvq345qms-3
and you wish to read it in as I just asked you. The code would be something like[php]<?php
$file=file('cod e.txt');
foreach($file as $line)
echo implode("",arra y_reverse(preg_ split('//', $line))).'<br>' ;
?>
[/php]Ronald

Thanks my Friend...

FAISAL!
Just reverse the array into which the file contents are stored line by line, like[php]<?php
$file=file('cod e.txt');
$lines = array_reverse($ file);
foreach ($lines as $line)
echo $line . ".<br>";
?>[/php]Ronald
Well, Thanks.. And sorry about posting.. I didn't knew if it's not allowed to post Images here..

Nothing Changes :( It gust process the file like normal.. Not in reverse order :(
Help please ...

Well, Thanks.. And sorry about posting.. I didn't knew if it's not allowed to post Images here..
No that is okay. Of course you are allowed to post images, but this particular one 'broke' the display page to the right, so I replaced it by text that showed the same information .

You have an input text file that contains only 1 line, as you showed! So how can the display be reversed of such a text file? In your sample you showed 3 lines, that works. But you cannot reverse the display of 1 line only.
Let me ask this differently: what do you expect that the resvere of that 1 line will be?
Ronald

Opps :(
Now I understood your point...
Well, Now let me tell you what I want exactly...
I have made a shoutbox script... That is based on 4 files mainly... shoutbox.php, shoutboxdb.txt and form.html and read.php, And a hope page called main.html which contacts 2 html frames.. in 1 you can view form.html where you can find shoutbox form. And in second you can see read.php...
In read.php at this moment i simply included shoutboxdb.txt so it spits out the data what ever is shouted and processes it as it must...
But all the new shouts are added from up to down.. So when they have got too much shouts.. We can't see the newest shout.. I mean the newest shout stays at the bottom of read.php and oldest on TOP....
So now what i wanted was, reverse them OR write them in Reverse order in my shoutbox.php so the newest shout always stay on the TOP instead of Bottom :)
Help :)

Hi!
I need to read a file (line-by-line) in reverse order, without reading the
whole file into memory first.
Is there an easy way of doing this? As in, is there a PHP function I could
use?
The solution has to be platform independent, so "popen("tac $filename")...
wouldn't work.

Hello,
I have a question.
I try to print a ascii file in reverse order( bottom-top). Here is the logic.
1. Go to the botton of the file fseek(). move one character back to avoid the EOF.
2. From here read a character, print it, move the file pointer (FILE*) to 2 steps back (using fseek(fp, -2, SEEK_CUR)) to read the previous character.
This seems to be ok if the file has a single line (i.e. no new line character). The above logic...

Hi folks,
Suppose I have a large (1 GB) text file which I want to read in
reverse. The number of characters I want to read at a time is
insignificant. I'm confused as to how best to do it. Upon browsing
through this group and other sources on the web, it seems that there
are many ways to do it.
Some suggest that simply fseek'ing to 8K bytes before the end of file,
and going backwards is the way. In this case, am I guaranteed best
results...
