fseek

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

fseek — 在文件指针中定位

说明

fseek ( resource $handle , int $offset [, int $whence = SEEK_SET ] ) : int

在与 handle 关联的文件中设定文件指针位置。 新位置从文件头开始以字节数度量，是以 whence 指定的位置加上 offset。

In general, it is allowed to seek past the end-of-file; if data is then written, reads in any unwritten region between the end-of-file and the sought position will yield bytes with value 0. However, certain streams may not support this behavior, especially when they have an underlying fixed size storage.

参数

handle

文件系统指针，是典型地由 fopen() 创建的 resource(资源)。

offset

偏移量。

要移动到文件尾之前的位置，需要给 offset 传递一个负值，并设置 whence 为 SEEK_END。

whence

whence values are:

  • SEEK_SET - 设定位置等于 offset 字节。
  • SEEK_CUR - 设定位置为当前位置加上 offset。
  • SEEK_END - 设定位置为文件尾加上 offset。

返回值

成功则返回 0；否则返回 -1。注意移动到 EOF 之后的位置不算错误。

范例

Example #1 fseek() 例子

<?php

$fp = fopen('somefile.txt', 'r');

// read some data
$data = fgets($fp, 4096);

// move back to the beginning of the file
// same as rewind($fp);
fseek($fp, 0);

?>

注释

Note:

如果使用附加模试（a 或 a+），任何写入文件数据都会被附加上去，而文件的位置将会被忽略，调用 fseek() 的结果尚未定义。

Note:

Not all streams support seeking. For those that do not support seeking, forward seeking from the current position is accomplished by reading and discarding data; other forms of seeking will fail.

  • ftell() - 返回文件指针读/写的位置
  • rewind() - 倒回文件指针的位置

Seek to a line of code than break from while to improve performance. Seek to specific line using SEEK_SET and get a specific line. If $range is '0' than will show seeked line. If set to '2' it will show current line + 2 lines above + 2 lines below.

Useful for get a content of a file in very huge file to get lines range. To improve performance a while loop breaks from iteration than go for seeking.

I've created a function that read a file and count lines and store into arrays each lines bytes to seek. If maximum specified by `linenum` is set, it will break from while to keep performance than in a new loop function to seek a position in bytes to get a content of file.

    function readFileSeek($source, $linenum = 0, $range = 0)
    {
        $fh = fopen($source, 'r');
        $meta = stream_get_meta_data($fh);
       
        if (!$meta['seekable']) {
            throw new Exception(sprintf("A source is not seekable: %s", print_r($source, true)));
        }
       
        $pos = 2;
        $result = null;
       
        if ($linenum) {
            $minline = $linenum - $range - 1;
            $maxline = $minline+$range+$range;
        }
       
        $totalLines = 0;
        while (!feof($fh)) {
       
            $char = fgetc($fh);
           
            if ($char == "\n" || $char == "\r") {
                ++$totalLines;
            } else {
                $result[$totalLines] = $pos;  
            }
            $pos++;
           
            if ($maxline+1 == $totalLines) {
                // break from while to not read entire file
                break;
            }
        }
       
        $buffer = '';
       
        for ($nr=$minline; $nr<=$maxline; $nr++) {
           
            if (isset($result[$nr])) {
           
                fseek($fh, $result[$nr], SEEK_SET);

                while (!feof($fh)) {
                    $char = fgetc($fh);

                    if ($char == "\n" || $char == "\r") {
                        $buffer .= $char;
                        break;
                    } else {
                        $buffer .= $char;
                    }
                }
           
            }
        }
       
        return $buffer;

Opening the file in a+ mode doesn't work with fseek either, unfortunately. If you want a file created and then want be able to go to any position in the file, you'll have to use append mode when opening the file, then close it, then open it again in r+.

how to read BIG files using fseek (above 2GB+, upto any size like 4GB+, 100GB+, 100 terabyes+, any file size, 100 petabytes, max limit is php_float_max ) ?

// seek / set file pointer to 50 GB
my_fseek($fp, floatval(50000000000),1);

function my_fseek($fp,$pos,$first=0) {

// set to 0 pos initially, one-time
if($first) fseek($fp,0,SEEK_SET);

// get pos float value
$pos=floatval($pos);

 // within limits, use normal fseek
if($pos<=PHP_INT_MAX)
  fseek($fp,$pos,SEEK_CUR);
 // out of limits, use recursive fseek
else {
  fseek($fp,PHP_INT_MAX,SEEK_CUR);
  $pos -= PHP_INT_MAX;
  my_fseek($fp,$pos);
}

}

hope this helps.

I want to give my contribution about the "read last lines from a file" topic. I've done some researches (starting from here, really) and run many tests for different algorithms and scenarios, and came up with this:

What is the best way in PHP to read last lines from a file?
http://stackoverflow.com/a/15025877/995958

In that mini-article I tried to analyze all different methods and their performance over different files.

Hope it helps.

I needed to stream a txt file (here big xml file) to get nodes blockwise. I couldn't find a shorter way. So i did write this class.

Function: streams a complete file and returns the content between two search strings with their search strings (multi byte safe)

Hope it helps anyone.

PS: It lacks any boolean checks / exception handling for non existing files / read errors.

<?php

sometimes we want read file from last line to beginning of file.I use the following.
<?php
function read_backward_line($filename, $lines, $revers = false)
{
    $offset = -1;
    $c = '';
    $read = '';
    $i = 0;
    $fp = @fopen($filename, "r");
    while( $lines && fseek($fp, $offset, SEEK_END) >= 0 ) {
        $c = fgetc($fp);
        if($c == "\n" || $c == "\r"){
            $lines--;
            if( $revers ){
                $read[$i] = strrev($read[$i]);
                $i++;
            }
        }
        if( $revers ) $read[$i] .= $c;
        else $read .= $c;
        $offset--;
    }
    fclose ($fp);
    if( $revers ){
        if($read[$i] == "\n" || $read[$i] == "\r")
            array_pop($read);
        else $read[$i] = strrev($read[$i]);
        return implode('',$read);
    }
    return strrev(rtrim($read,"\n\r"));
}
//if $revers=false function return->
//line 1000: i am line of 1000
//line 1001: and i am line of 1001
//line 1002: and i am last line
//but if $revers=true function return->
//line 1002: and i am last line
//line 1001: and i am line of 1001
//line 1000: i am line of 1000

Enjoy! Mail me if it works!  ;-)

The official docs indicate that not all streams are seekable.
You can try to seek anyway and handle failure:

<?php
if (fseek($stream, $offset, SEEK_CUR) === -1) {
  // whatever
}
?>

Or, you can use the stream_get_meta_data function:
http://php.net/stream_get_meta_data

<?php
function fseekable($stream) {
  $meta = stream_get_meta_data($stream);
  return $meta['seekable'];
}
?>

This a tail php script example for windows system.

<?php
$n = ( isset($_REQUEST['n']) == true )? $_REQUEST['n']:20;

$offset = -$n * 120;

$rs = fopen('C:/wamp/logs/apache_error.log','r');
if ( $rs === false )
    die("No se pudo abrir el archivo de log");

fseek($rs,$offset,SEEK_END);

fgets($rs);
while(!feof($rs))
{
    $buffer = fgets($rs);
    echo $buffer;
    echo "<hr />";
}

fclose($rs);
?>

Modified @ben's function to work for files larger than PHP_INT_MAX bytes.

<?php
function longTail($file, $numLines = 100)
{
    $fp = fopen($file, "r");
    $chunk = 4096;
    $fs = sprintf("%u", filesize($file));
    $max = (intval($fs) == PHP_INT_MAX) ? PHP_INT_MAX : filesize($file);

    for ($len = 0; $len < $max; $len += $chunk) {
        $seekSize = ($max - $len > $chunk) ? $chunk : $max - $len;

        fseek($fp, ($len + $seekSize) * -1, SEEK_END);
        $data = fread($fp, $seekSize) . $data;

        if (substr_count($data, "\n") >= $numLines + 1) {
            preg_match("!(.*?\n){".($numLines)."}$!", $data, $match);
            fclose($fp);
            return $match[0];
        }
    }
    fclose($fp);
    return $data;
}
?>

The tail example functions below will return a PHP memory limit error when trying to open large files. Since tail is convenient for opening large logs, here is a function that lets you (provided you have permission):

<?php

function unix_tail($lines,$file)
{
    shell_exec("tail -n $lines $file > /tmp/phptail_$file");
    $output = file_get_contents("/tmp/phptail_$file");
    unlink("/tmp/phptail_$file");
    return $output;
}

?>

To:seeker at example com
Be careful, though.
You can freely position you pointer if you open a file in (r+) mode, but it will "overwrite" the data, not "append it".

Tested this:

<?php
// file.txt content:
// "You can contribute your notes to the PHP manual from the comfort of your browser!"

$handler = fopen("file.txt", "r+");
fseek($handler, 0);
fwrite($handler, "want to add this");
?>
New contents of the file.txt will be like this:
"want to add thiste your notes to the PHP manual from the comfort of your browser!".

If you really want to append at the beginning, you have to first get all the contents, save it, clear the file, put the new contents and append the saved contents at the end.

JUST TO QUOTE AND POINT THIS OUT:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. if you're using fseek() to write data to a file, remember to open the file in "r+"
mode, example:

  $fp=fopen($filename,"r+");

DON'T open the file in mode "a" (for append), because it puts
 the file pointer at the end of the file and doesn't let you
fseek earlier positions in the file (it didn't for me!). Also,
don't open the file in mode "w" -- although this puts you at
the beginning of the file -- because it wipes out all data in
the file.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took me half a day to figure :/

Here's a function I wrote to binary search for a line of text within a file, particularly useful when the file is too large to read into memory at once and you want a faster search than linear.

function binary_search_in_file($filename, $search) {

    //Open the file
    $fp = fopen($filename, 'r');

    //Seek to the end
    fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_END);

    //Get the max value
    $high = ftell($fp);
   
    //Set the low value
    $low = 0;

    while ($low <= $high) {
        $mid = floor(($low + $high) / 2);  // C floors for you

        //Seek to half way through
        fseek($fp, $mid);

        if($mid != 0){
            //Read a line to move to eol
            $line = fgets($fp);
        }
       
        //Read a line to get data
        $line = fgets($fp);
       

        if ($line == $search) {
            fclose($fp);
            return $line;
        }
        else {
            if ($search < $line) {
                $high = $mid - 1;
            }
            else {
                $low = $mid + 1;
            }
        }
    }

    //Close the pointer
    fclose($fp);

    return FALSE;

}

I tried to improve and modify (mail at ulf-kosack dot de)'s function. Actually it is very fast, i.e. requires much less time than to get the last five, ten or whatever lines of a file using file() ore file_get_contents().

function read_file($file, $lines)
{
       $handle = fopen($file, "r");
       $linecounter = $lines;
       $pos = -2;
       $beginning = false;
       $text = array();
       while ($linecounter > 0) {
         $t = " ";
         while ($t != "\n") {
           if(fseek($handle, $pos, SEEK_END) == -1) {
$beginning = true; break; }
           $t = fgetc($handle);
           $pos --;
         }
         $linecounter --;
         if($beginning) rewind($handle);
         $text[$lines-$linecounter-1] = fgets($handle);
         if($beginning break;
       }
       fclose ($handle);
       return array_reverse($text); // array_reverse is optional: you can also just return the $text array which consists of the file's lines.
}

The good thing now is, that you don't get an error when your requesting more lines than the file contains. In this case the function will just return the whole file content.

Jim's (jim at lfchosting dot com) code for the last-line issue is perfect if the file is not empty, or moreover if it has more than one line. However if the file you're using cotains no new-line character at all (i.e. it is empty or it's got one line and only one) the while loop will stuck indefinitely.

I know this script is meant for big files which would always contain at least several lines, but it would be clever to make the script error-proof.

Thus, here's a little modification to his code.

<?php
function readLastLine ($file) {
    $fp = @fopen($file, "r");

    $pos = -1;
    $t = " ";
    while ($t != "\n") {
        if (!fseek($fp, $pos, SEEK_END)) { // *** - fseek returns 0 if successfull, and -1 if it has no succes as in seeking a byte outside the file's range
            $t = fgetc($fp);
            $pos = $pos - 1;
        } else { // ***
            rewind($fp); // ***
            break; // ***
        } // ***
    }
    $t = fgets($fp);
    fclose($fp);
    return $t;
}
?>

Lines added and/or modified have been marked with "// ***". I hope this helps!

Regards!

Here a little extension for the code of ekow.
If you want to read more than one line and more than one file. Some times the last five ore ten lines are interesting in.

You only have to submit a array with filenames and optionally a number of lines you want to read.

<?php
  function read_logfiles($files, $lines=5)
  {
    foreach($files as $file_num => $file) {
      if (file_exists ($file) ) {
        $handle = fopen($file, "r");
        $linecounter = $lines;
        $pos = -2;
        $t = " "; 
        $text[$file_num] = "";
        while ($linecounter > 0) {
          while ($t != "\n") {
            fseek($handle, $pos, SEEK_END);
            $t = fgetc($handle);

A little correction for code to read last line from chenganeyou at eyou dot com.
$linenumber = sizeof($file)-1;
should be
$linenumber = sizeof($contents)-1;
because sizeof will count array element, not file size.
<?php
function readlastline($file)
{
       $linecontent = " ";
       $contents = file($file);
       $linenumber = sizeof($contents)-1;
       $linecontet = $contents[$linenumber];
       unset($contents,$linenumber);
       return $linecontent;
}
?>

I use the following codes to read the last line of a file.
Compared to jim at lfchosting dot com, it should be more efficient.

<?php
function readlastline($file)
{
       $linecontent = " ";
       $contents = file($file);
       $linenumber = sizeof($file)-1;
       $linecontet = $contents[$linenumber];
       unset($contents,$linenumber);
       return $linecontent;
}
?>

In order to read a text file from end->beginning e.g display the most recent contents of a log file first.  I use the following.

It basically just uses fseek to find the end of the file, ftell to find the byte count for a counter, then iterates backwards through the file using fgetc to test for the newline charater.

$i=0 ;
$lines=500 ;
$fp = fopen($log,"r") ;
if(is_resource($fp)){
    fseek($fp,0,SEEK_END) ;
    $a = ftell($fp) ;
    while($i <= $lines){
        if(fgetc($fp) == "\n"){
            echo (fgets($fp));
            $i++ ;
        }
    fseek($fp,$a) ;
    $a-- ;
    }
}

Thanks to Dan, whose above comment provided a key to solve the issue of how to append to a file.
     After, using phpinfo(); I made sure my installation of PHP had the requisite settings mentioned in the text to the manual entry for fopen(), I was puzzled as to why my use of fopen() with the append option 'a' (append option) didn't work. Then I  read a comment contributed to Appendix L (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php) that the append option 'a' for fopen() doesn't work as expected. The writer suggested using the 'w' option instead, which I found did work. But the 'w' option (write option) overwrites everything in the file.
     The question remained how to accomplish appending. Following Dan's suggestion about the 'r+' option, I tried this, which works fine:
       $string = "Message to write to log";
       $filehandle = fopen ("/home/name/sqllogs/phpsqlerr.txt", 'r+');
    fseek ( $filehandle,0, SEEK_END);
    fwrite ( $filehandle, $string."\n" );
    fclose ($filehandle);

Based on the function below, provided by info at o08 dot com (thanks), the following should enable you to read a single line from a file, identified by the line number (starting with 1):

<?
    function readLine ($linenum,$fh) {
        $line = fgets ($fh, 4096);
        $pos = -1;
        $i = 0;

        while (!feof($fh) && $i<($linenum-1)) {
            $char = fgetc($fh);
            if ($char != "\n" && $char != "\r") {
                fseek($fh, $pos, SEEK_SET);
                $pos ++;
            }
            else $i ++;
        }
        $line = fgets($fh);
        return $line;
    } //readLine()
?>

Here is a function that returns the last line of a file.  This should be quicker than reading the whole file till you get to the last line.  If you want to speed it up a bit, you can set the $pos = some number that is just greater than the line length.  The files I was dealing with were various lengths, so this worked for me.

<?php
function readlastline($file)
{
        $fp = @fopen($file, "r");
        $pos = -1;
        $t = " ";
        while ($t != "\n") {
              fseek($fp, $pos, SEEK_END);
              $t = fgetc($fp);
              $pos = $pos - 1;
        }
        $t = fgets($fp);
        fclose($fp);
        return $t;
}
?>

Don't use filesize() on files that may be accessed and updated by parallel processes or threads (as the filesize() return value is maintained in a cache).
Instead lock the opened file and use fseek($fp,0,SEEK_END) and ftell($fp) to get the actual filesize if you need to perform a fread() call to read the whole file...
