Re: <input type="file" name="txt_file" />

Instead of using fread, I want to upload a *.txt file using: <input type="file" name="txt_file" /> and display it in a textarea. Where do I go now? Specifically, how do I get $contents? Thanks, John <?php $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $handle = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($handle); if ($contents){echo"<form><textarea>$contents</textarea></form>";} else{echo "no contents there";} ?>
