heckenschutze Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 There are 2 main methods:The C based way (example from php.net):[code]<?php$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";$handle = fopen($filename, "r");$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));fclose($handle);?>[/code]Or the easy, new PHP way:[code]<?php$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";$contents = file_get_contents($filename);?>[/code]is that what you were after?
