Reading/Writing PHP file with PHP?

[DT-Ahmad]

Hi,

 

I am still learning my way with this beautiful language, and I do have a couple of issues really and I was unable to find answers to them on Google.

 

Can I read a PHP file with PHP?

Basically. This is the short story; I want to read a language file in the browser. The language file say.. english.php and its content is like this:

 

<?php

DEFINE('HELLO_TEXT', 'Hello!');
DEFINE('LOGIN_TEXT', 'Log In');

?>

 

Now if I assume the above code presents a file called english.php

 

Is it possible to read/loop through values using PHP directly from the browser? I tried with fopen but I am just not sure if this is the correct way to read such file.

 

Any input is greatly appreciated guys

Just use include()
