So, regardless of what machine you are using to browse your PHP page, it will only know of text files on the server. So, you will probably need to employ socket connections in order to get text files from a machine other then the server. -Brad > > HI... sorry to interrupt again... > > I have another ridiculous question... > > I have a text file in my machine... and a php-file in my host (such as > host.sk etc..) > I want to use my php-file to access my text file in my machine > directly... > I used fopen, and fread stuff... but didn't work.... > > Btw, can somebody help my with this....
