[SOLVED] I want to Read a text file.

[oceans]

Dear People,

 

I want to Read a text file.

 

I understand on the coding portion, but I am unsure on the actual process. Is it, we read it directly from a client computer or we have to upload to the server then read from the server.

 

Thanks.

Upload to server...

use FOPEN to read file

print file contents on screen

 

OPTIONAL: (delete uploaded file)

 

That order might be what you are looking for.

I understood the sequence...

In more detail:

 

You make an upload script using php, to upload the file to a temporary dictionary.

Once it's uploaded you can read from the using various functions, it depends on what you want to do with the text file.

 

And then delete the file using unlink or something similar, keeping the text file will result in loss of client security.
