Below is a bit of code, which I needed to make when creating an application which did a lot of file manipulation. If you ever want to load the contents of a file, but remove X amount of lines from the end of the file, use the function below.

<?php

//

// Load a text file, but remove the last X amount of lines

//

function end_file($filename, $lines);

{

    $contents = file($filename);

    $i = count($contents);

    $c = $i-$lines;

    while ($c <= $i)

    {

        unset($contents[$c]);

        $c++;

    }

    $contents = implode("",$contents);

    return($contents);

}

?>
