how do you use php functions to link to a file with the url of the php?

[ted_chou12]

for example, i have lots text files stored, and I want the php page to include these file with a unique url address of each of them, so when you enter that url, it will include that specific text file within the page.

okay,
lets say i have a text file called "info1.txt" and another one called "info2.txt"
I want a php page that includes the file "info1.txt", and I want a id url address for this.
however, I also want this php page to include "info2.txt" with another id url adress.
id url can be anything like this:
http://test.com/page.php?id=info1
http://test.com/page.php?id=info2
but I just want each of the php page to include each of the two text separatly, so when "http://test.com/page.php?id=info1" is entered in the browser, the php page only shows up "info1.txt", while when "http://test.com/page.php?id=info2" is entered, the php page only shows up the "info2.txt".

(Understand now?)

Almost ;)
So you have a page that includes files (single files only) and you want it to be able to include more than one file?

Orio.

yeap, kindof, but one file at a time with a unique url :D

[ted_chou12]

have you got any other ideas?

You can make id to be like this (example):
?id=file1|file2|file3

And then the script will do this:
[code]<?php

$files = explode("|",$_GET['id']);
foreach ($files as $include)
  include($include.".txt");

?>[/code]

Orio.

[code]
<?php

$file = $_GET["id"] . ".txt";

$open = fopen($file, "r");

print "<pre>";
print (file_get_contents($file));
print "</pre>";

fclose($open);

?>[/code]

That will do what you want.
example. page.php?id=hello
Will produce text file: hello.txt
