Write to a text file:

Show the contents of the file:

what i need is i want to the script to open the text file in the notepad it self.

fopen only opens it in background. i want to execute the file.

<textarea cols="100" rows="20" name="edited_data">

<?
$file = fopen("testing.php", "r") or die("Cannot open file");
while (!feof($file)) 
{ 
echo fgetc($file); 
}
fclose($file);
?>
</textarea>	
?>
