Re: getting file contents

you could do something like this $buffer = ''; $fd = fopen($filename, 'r'); while (!feof($fd)) { $buffer .= fgets($fd, 4096); } fclose($fd); a better option would probably be to make your "text" file a "php" file and echo your value where you want them <? // php code here include 'mytemplate.php'; ?> note: whatever you include will be parsed if it has php tags, regardless of the file extension olinux --- Matt Palermo <mpalermo@vt.edu> wrote: > I have text a file which contains php code.
