How can PHP functions like file() and array_reverse() be utilized to manipulate the order of entries in a text file for display purposes?
To manipulate the order of entries in a text file for display purposes, you can use the file() function to read the contents of the file into an array, and then use the array_reverse() function to reverse the order of entries in the array. Finally, you can loop through the reversed array to display the entries in the desired order.
$file_contents = file('data.txt'); // Read the contents of the text file into an array
$reversed_contents = array_reverse($file_contents); // Reverse the order of entries in the array
foreach($reversed_contents as $entry) {
echo $entry . "<br>"; // Display each entry in the reversed order
}
