hello

i have a file named "file.txt" it updates by adding lines to it.

I am reading it by this code:

$fp = fopen("file.txt", "r");
$data = "";
while(!feof($fp))
{
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
}
echo $data;

and a huge number of lines appears. I just want to echo the last 5 lines of the file

how can i do that ?

thanks in advanced
