$variable = file_get_contents("link");

Thanks but that fails

[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I thihk because its a Ftl extension anyone got any other suggestions - tried curl and that seems not to work either.

It's got nothing to do with the extension. Show the code you're attempting to use.

 

Example code:

 

?php

$fp = fopen("http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/lotto/results/downloadResultsCSV.ftl", "r");
if (!$fp)
{
die("Failed to open URL");
}
else
{
while(($data = fgetcsv($fp)) !== false)
	print_r($data);
}

?>

Maybe your PHP is set to safe mode which means you need to use cURL to get the contents of the FTL file.

 

And that's good, cURL is actually recommended for this. Google on a tutorial if you don't know how to do.

Thanks for answer. Works fine of course. That was my original code and did not work and simply presumed something to do with extension. Cleare was my silly error in code.

Thanks once again
