Re: How to include a txt file on php?

dunno. probably not, but why risk the file having malicious php code when you don't have to? granted it's unlikely, but there's no reason to use include() instead of readfile(), so why not use the more secure option? Also, there's probably a _slight_ performance penalty w/ include since it has to parse the file.
