copy content from text file to htm file using php

[sandhya]

hi all,

    I have to read the content of text file and write here in working htm file. For this i'm using the following code.

 

$myFile = "Friendship/friend.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');

$theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));

fclose($fh);

echo $theData;

 

But it reads and displays the content in the htm file like this.

 

��<�b�r�>�<�c�e�n�t�e�r�>��

�<�t�a�b�l�e� �c�e�l�l�s�p�a�c�i�n�g�=�"�0�"� �w�i�d�t�h�=�"�6�0�0�"� �h�e�i�g�h�t�=�"�4�0�0�"� �s�t�y�l�e�=�"�b�o�r�d�e�r�:�4�0�p�x� �s�o�l�i�d� �#�0�0�0�"�>�<�t�d� �b�g�c�o�l�o�r�=�"�0�"� �v�a�l�i�g�n�=�"�t�o�p�"� �a�l�i�g�n�=�"�c�e�n�t�e�r�"�>�<�h�r� �s�i�z�e�=�"�1�0�"� �s�t�y�l�e�=�"�b�o�r�d�e�r�:�1�2�p�x� �o�u�t�s�e�t� �#�D�7�7�D�8�2�"�>�<�b�r�>�<�b�r�>��

�<�i�m�g� �s�r�c�=�"�h�t�t�
