Program Execution

[makhan]

I am using php to write inputs I receive from browser into a text file.Than I use shell_exec() to execute a program on server that writes those inputs from the text file and write its output to another text file. Now after my program has written its output I want to read this text file from php and send it back to the browser.

Can someone please guide me how I can do this.

 

 

Thanks

could use get_file_contents that the easy way or use the fopen statement >>>

http://uk3.php.net/fopen

<?php

$view=file_get_contents("http//www.what_ever.php/what_ever.txt");
echo $view;

?>

 

get it all in an array to sort  data out

<?php

$view=file_get_contents("http//www.what_ever.php/what_ever.txt");

$view2=explode(' ',$view);

//echo what ever array needed example first array, array always start from 0
// unless otherwise altered.

$view3=$view2[0];

$result=implode(' ',$view3);

echo $result;


?>

Thanks redarrow, but the issue is not just reading output file. Issue is to know that when program has written its ouput to the file.( and what to do in the php script while the program is executing and writting it to the file)
