how do you read the last line in php and parse out certain columns

Question

I am very new to php. I\'d really appreciate all the help here.

I am using sftp to login to a server and get a file. I am only interested in the last line in that file.

Answer 1

$data = explode("\n", $data);
$last_line = end($data);
$parts = explode("\t", $last_line);
