Use fopen and fgets, or possibly just file.

There are several methods for reading text from files in PHP.

You could use fgets, fread, etc. Load the file into a dynamic array, then just output the last 200 elements of that array.

file will get the contents of a file and put it into an array. After that, it's like JYelton said, output the last 200 elements.

This outputs last 200 rows. Last row first:

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

<?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);
?>
