Display Logs Plugin Stuck In A Loop

[mikeel100]

ZC version: 1.5.7c
Plugins: Display Logs and MyPlugin (in development)
PHP version: 7.4
Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP with Mariadb

Display logs got stuck in a loop when I tried to delete all logs. I hit the browser stop icon because it was taking so long to delete 6 log files. When I was able to return to the log screen, the first file was over 5 MB in size.

Within the zc_plugins file structure, I was in the process of modifying init_MyPluging.php to try and find a way to get the plugin name and version (for using in my language file definitions). I was going to extract the data by reading the manifest.php file with this code:

//
$file = fopen("../../../manifest.php", "r");
while (!feof($file)) {
//...get name and version...
$info = fgets($file);
$data = explode('\n', $info);
fclose($file);
}

On a side note, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get the plugin name and version as constants or variables before the language file definitions are loaded.

Probably should open another question up but thought I'd knock 2 birds out with one post if possible.

Thanks.
