include("but unprocessed")

[Matt79]

I have my website setup so I can edit it with a web browser. The way I have it set up is I include the file that I want to edit inside of an HTML textarea. The only problem is the page that I am going to edit is already processed by php.

 

So is there a simple way to have a php file sent to the web browser without PHP processing it?

I'm not sure if it will work with your setup, but you might be able to just echo the contents of the file instead of including it:

 

<?php
//if file is php:
echo file_get_contents("file.php");
?>

file_get_contents

then echo it with single quotes so no vars get extrapolated. You could also if you want replace the $ with \$. Then reverse it when writing it back.

Thanks guys the echo file_get_contents("file.php"); did the trick. I am a network person, so I have yet to learn all of the tips and tricks.
