Re: include statement errors -- something missing

here is what I tried: <?php $myfile=fopen("http://www.gospelcom.net/mnn/includes/pubNewsTease.php?li=yes &limit=4", "r"); ?> <?php echo $myfile;?> -- but basically it returns me "Resource ID#1" which makes me feel like I am close. Thanks again for your time and input.
