This is the insert into file, it puts 1 row at a time. I want to read only last 10 rows, for example.

$file = SITE_ROOT."logs/log.txt";

        if ($handle = fopen($file, 'a+b')) {
            $content = Session::get('username') . " has logged out on - " . datetime_to_text("now") . "\r\n";
            fwrite($handle, $content);
            fclose($handle);
        } else {
            echo 'Culd not open file for writing.';
        }

this is how i read them, reads them all. 

$file = SITE_ROOT . "logs/log.txt";
                                $content = "";
                                if ($handle = fopen($file, 'r')) {
                                    while (!feof($handle)) {
                                        $content .= '<li><a href="#">' . fgets($handle) . '</a></li>';
                                        echo count($handle);
                                    }
                                    fclose($handle);
                                }

                                echo nl2br($content);

 while (!feof($handle)) {

is the line actually "reading" the line so change it to this

$i=0;
$max=10;
while (!feof($handle) && ($i++ < $max)) {

that sets a counter and counts until $max is hit. Sorry I missed the last 10. Only seen the 10 lines between the code blocks
