Okay i had this problem, i had a 1.5 gig sql dump and i downloaded it and couldnt find a text
editor that could read it..... took forever to download as well... and what if you want to just
work in the cloud , dont have access to vi or ssh command line and you want to browse through
a giant log file, etc.... well here is my very basic big cloud file viewer... just place it in the directory with
a big file, change the $file =  line to match your file and voila!  im thinking of making a split function later if i get bored...

Code:

<?php

  $file='bigassfile.sql';
  echo $file.'<br><hr><br>';
  $fp = fopen($file, 'r');
  if (isset($_REQUEST["start"])){
    $start=$_REQUEST["start"];
    $chunksize=$_REQUEST["chunksize"];
  } else {
    $start=0;
    $chunksize=512;
  }
  fseek($fp, $start);
  $data = fread($fp, $chunksize);
  echo '<textarea rows=20 cols=120 wrap off>'.$data.'</textarea><br><hr><br>';
  echo '<a href="fileview.php?start='.($start+$chunksize+1).'&chunksize='
  .$chunksize.'">next '
  .$chunksize.'</a>';  
  fclose($fp);
?>

Nice - thanks Phaëton.

yeah thats cool

generally use less on the command line for this kind of thing

any great ideas on how you could get some basic searching going on there as well - don't generally want to page through a zillion lines

I suppose just

while(!preg_match($pattern, $data)){ 
$start+=512
fseek($fp, $start);
fread($fp, $chunksize);
}

would do it

Unless you pattern is split across the 512 line. You actually need to read 512 (for example) but seek only 512 - (sizeof potential pattern match + 1) or you'll miss a lot.
