[SOLVED] FOPEN Inquiries

[ivatanako]

I am new into PHP programming and Im making a simple php site for my school project. Im having issues with the fopen function in PHP. I wanted to make a FOPEN php file, something like this

 

http://domain.com/viewarticle.php?name=sample.txt

 

Is this possible without mySQL? so that whenever I'll request for a page, it'll just fetch the textfile on the webserver. The url would be something like this.

 

http://domain.com/viewarticle.php?name=sample.txt

http://domain.com/viewarticle.php?name=sample2.txt

 

???

What is the problem?

Why would you need mySQL for this? You would just treat it as a normal text file.

 

<?php

$file = $_GET['name'];
$handle = fopen($file, "r");

?>

Ok, I do apologize..

 

<?php

$file = $_GET['name'];
$handle = fopen($file, "r");

?>

 

I have this save as viewarticle.php. Then i'm trying to fetch sample.txt, how would i do this?

 

I tried this one

http://domain.com/viewarticle.php?name=sample.txt

 

But it didn't fetch the text file. What am I missing?

Give this a try.

 

<?php

$file = $_GET['name'];
$lines = file($file);

foreach ($lines as $line) {
    echo $line.'<br>';
}

?>
