[SOLVED] Include txt?

[zero_ZX]

Hi all,

I want my script to connect to my server and read a txt file, and display the content of that file on the people who uses my script's website.

 

ie

File is located at: http://scripts-for-free.com/version.txt

 

Then a client's page will load the version.txt and display the content so they can see if there are any updates.

 

But i dunno how to do this without include, and as simple as possible.. I tried this:

 

$version = http://localhost/version.txt;

 

echo $version;

 

But it didn't work..

Any suggestions?

Use:

 

echo file_get_conents($version);

Thanks alot

 

Final solution:

 

$version = file_get_contents('http://localhost/version.txt');

echo $version;

if your echo'ing it out directly after you could use

readfile('version.txt')

or even

include('version.txt');

If it a script your clients got, then this is correct.

 

now add this to the code, place it on a page,and distribute the code.

<?php
$results=file_get_contents("http://scripts-for-free.com/version.txt");

echo $results;
?>
