Reading a .php's file's contents?

[Michdd]

How do I get a file's contents if it's on my local server, I tried fread, but it only returns the html, and no php.

Use a file system path, not a URL.

Use a local file path and not a url eg

 

 echo htmlentities(file_get_contents('/file/to/php/script'));

 

or

$file = '/file/to/php/script';

$handle = fopen($file, 'r');

echo htmlentities( fread($handle, filesize($file) );
