RE: [PHP-DB] read a file from local harddisk

I won't even ask why... but if you started a webserver on your local machine the file() function does allow you to use http .. so file("http://mymachine/myfile.txt"); that's one way. The other way is to upload the file using HTTP. Neither of these ways are very secure. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: dufronte [mailto:dufronte@kapsul.org] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 11:28 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] read a file from local harddisk HI... sorry to interrupt again...
