您需要阅读无限循环中的文件内容while(true)
。我会通过代码评论来解释。
// read.php
<?php
// Last read position
$last = 0;
// Path to the updating log file
$file = 'log.txt';
while (true) {
// PHP caches file information in order to provide faster
// performance; In order to read the new filesize, we need
// to flush this cache.
clearstatcache(false, $file);
// Get the current size of file
$current = filesize($file);
// Reseted the file?
if ($current < $last) {
$last = $current;
}
// If there's new content in the file
elseif ($current > $last) {
// Open the file in read mode
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
// Set the file position indicator to the last position
fseek($fp, $last);
// While not reached the end of the file
while (! feof($fp)) {
// Read a line and print
print fgets($fp);
}
// Store the current position of the file for the next pass
$last = ftell($fp);
// Close the file pointer
fclose($fp);
}
}
要进行测试,打开一个终端窗口,并发出:
while true; do echo `date` >> log.txt; sleep 1; done
这将当前日期时间字符串追加到每个单独第二的文件。现在打开另一个终端并发出php read.php
以查看是否正在实时读取文件。它会输出这样的事情:
Wed Dec 28 18:01:12 IRST 2016
Wed Dec 28 18:01:13 IRST 2016
Wed Dec 28 18:01:14 IRST 2016
Wed Dec 28 18:01:15 IRST 2016
Wed Dec 28 18:01:16 IRST 2016
Wed Dec 28 18:01:17 IRST 2016
Wed Dec 28 18:01:18 IRST 2016
# Keeps updating...
如果你倾向于通过HTTP服务这一点,你需要打印读取缓冲区后添加ob_flush()
电话:
// While not reached the end of the file
while (! feof($fp)) {
print fgets($fp) . '<br>';
// Flush the output cache
ob_flush();
}
