You need to upload the file to the same location your script is running that calls it.

note: dosnt have to be the same directory. but the file will need to be uploaded.

Not necessarily. You can include remote files providing url wrappers is enabled on your host. However... this would mean the file would need to be publicly available (ie, you would need a http/ftp server) from your local computer.

 

Hence, doing things this way gives you no more security and in fact will open your local computer up to various vulnerabilities unless you know what your doing.

in otherwords, it would not be recommend to do it? it would be wiser to upload the file...

He's using a ".txt" file which if th filename becomes clear to a user all they have to do is type this into the browser and the file will be shown.
