Re: Reading part of a file

What I'm doing is having a PHP part, let's say that it's a calculator that adds module, that does the adding. The second part of the file is the form that the user uses to put in the numbers. That's what I want to do... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" <mschroebel@epooch.com> To: "Stephen" <webmaster@melchior.us> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 8:11 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Reading part of a file > I think what your trying to do is to read one file containing html, and > insert some other html in the middle of the first file.
