[AaroN⍩]

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this question, I would like to display the latest server logs on a website using PHPSDK but I have a question on how to do it efficiently as it will update in real time. any ideas?

Do you have a custom server log system? What type of logs do you wish to sync? Have you tried using a service like webmin/docker and some kind of log shipper?

I'm not sure if it's possible to achieve real time with just PHP.
Maybe you can use socket that can be listened with javascript client.

You can open a file handle on server.log and read it periodically. Move the pointer to end of file after opening it initially, and read from it at some interval (500ms should feel like realtime).

other sol you can use ajax but it's not that good idea

Initially I did it like this, but it is not efficient since you have to count the lines of the server.log and then take the last 20 lines, for example, and do it every 5 seconds is 0 efficient.
