You don't need to use a .php file if you want to read static content.

 

Have a look in the PHP file for fopen.  Using fopen you can open the file, then use fread to read the file.

Thanks for your reply, but i need to read the content from .php file for other purposes. if you have any idea, let me know.

Can you clarify a little on what you want done.

 

did you mean that you want to read the parsed value of a php file, with php?

 

or did you want to read the code itself from the php file?

[thenature4u]

my code is like this

 

<?

define('ABOUT US','We are the development People');

?>

 

i want to read this .php file and save this content to a variable.

 

Thanks for reply.

Hmm, perhaps you actually need include('path/to/file.php');

 

you want that variable to be carried across use the include function.
