I've changed my script to the following:
<?php
$file ="/var/log/radius.log";
$fp = popen("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file", 'r');
if (! $fp ) {
echo 'unable to pipe command';
}
while (!feof($fp) ) {
$line = fgets($fp);
print $line;
}
?>
And now get the following errors:
Warning: Wrong parameter count for fgets() in /var/www/html/logs2.php
on
line 10
I get this over and over and over (like it's producing the error once
per

line in the log file).
prior to PHP 4.2 you had to use a second parameter for fgets. This
parameter is the maximum length per line to read.
$line = fget($fp,4096);
will probably work.
HTH,

Changed that line as shown above, and now get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fget() in
/var/www/html/logs2.php
on line 11
Sorry. I mean fgets ...
That worked perfectly - now I at least get this:
[snip]
Now, how can I force a \n; to make it look like this:
Simply add one. print $line."\n"; should work. Or if your output is html 
print $line."<br>";
