Read Text File in Reverse

buildakicker · 11-25-2008, 10:43 PM

Hello all,

I have a text file that contains enteries like so:

Code:

date||name||title||description

I would like to read my file in reverse, ie from the Bottom Up.

I can read it backwards using:

Code:

$file = array_reverse( file( 'u4g.txt' ) );
foreach ( $file as $line ){

ect....

but cannot figure out how EXPLODE each line in a foreach. Why can't I do something like this:

Code:

$file = array_reverse( file( 'u4g.txt' ) );
foreach ( $file as $line ){
	$parts = explode('||', $line);
	echo "<div class='viewline'><h3>" . $parts[3] . "</h3><br />". $parts[4] ."<br />Posted by: " . $parts[1] . "<br /> Date Posted: " . $parts[0] . "<br />" . "Contact Email: " . $parts[2] . "</span></div>";
	}
}

Do I need something like:

Code:

$line_of_text = fgets($fp);

In there???

Thanks!
