fopen() in reverse

[KoRnDragon]

I'm remaking my old FFA (Free For All) script and I've got just about
everything done except for the reverse entries for the textfile.

I need to have all the entried ordered from newest to oldest.

Thanks in advance.

Or if your file is large (because file will obviously load the whole file
in to an array), use exec or something similar to use the
Linux command line utility "rev".

I may use array_reverse() but how long do you think it would take to
start showing a noticeable difference in load time? About how many
lines/entries?

Try it out? Create a file with a lot of lines and time the
loadtime. Depends on the lengts of the lines too..
