Yep, that's where I have it. I have put this new script at the top of the index.php in the following theme folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\classic. Page.txt is in this directory too.

Hi, Very clever, it has diagnosed the problem, I get: 'Cannot find file' Where should I place the file?

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I added the code so that it looks like this: <?php fopen('page.txt',r); $content_file = "page.txt"; It results in this additional error: Warning: fopen(page.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\classic\index.php on line 6 Do I have to state the path to the file? G.

Hi all, I'm new to Php, and I love it, despite my problem. I'm trying to add a script into a default Wordpress install on my local server. I'm basically trying to load a text file into a variable and then use it. When I load the page I get the following error: Warning: file(page.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\classic\index.php on line 11 Warning: join() [function.join]: Bad arguments. in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\classic\index.php on line 11 This is the beginning of the script: <?php $content_file = "page.txt"; And this is line 11: $words = split(" ", join("", file($content_file))); From what I've read, it seems the text file simply isn't in the correct location, or that I may have capitalised incorrectly, etc. However, I have tried every permutation of localhost address (e.g $content_file = "http://localhost/page.txt";) and drive location ($content_file = "C:\xampp\htdocs\page.txt";) and nothing seems to work. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help. Gavin.
