.dat help

[zeem]

Ok heres wat i have: I Have a mysql table that outputs to my webpage. I also have several .dat files,  which correspond to the cells in the sql table that i want to be shown in an HTML table. I want each html table cell to have the .dat folder. how do i make a varialbe address?

 

in case that doesnt make sence, which im sure it doesnt

 

 

$file = '$varriableaddress  .dat';

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

$f=fread($fh,999);

fclose($fh);

and so on and so on

a shot in the dark here:

 

$file = $varriableaddress.'.dat';
$fh = fopen($file, 'r');
$f=fread($fh,999);
fclose($fh);

Nothing. that wont work cause $file is a variable. i need to add .dat onto the end of $variableaddress, saving it into $file...i would assum, if there is an easier way to do this i would be thrilled
