for the first question to retrieve the data of the log file, there is a command available in linux. You can use that in your php code using any of these functions system, passthru, exec...

The command is something like

tail -f 'your_path_of_logfile'

for more details on tail check
tail --help in linux prompt

I didn't get what we have to do exactly
