  Recent improvements in the analysis techniques and Monte Carlo models used in
the measurement of the hadronic structure function of the photon have lead to
much improved experimental results. Its low x behaviour was studied in various
Q^2 regions using LEP1 and LEP2 data, while its x dependence and Q^2 evolution
up to very high virtualities, as well as its charm component were studied using
the high energy and luminosity data of LEP2. These recent results will be
presented.
