I just whipped up a little PHP script that impliments the *nix command tail via AJAX in a browser, using any file available through a URL. This is useful for watching log files, because it will reverse the order of the file, that is, print what is being written to the bottom of the log file to the top of the browser window for easy viewing. The script uses AJAX to push the updates to the file through to the browser every 10 seconds. To use your file, just subsitutute your file ’s URL for the text.txt URL given into the following URL:
