Could you explain what was my fault concerned about this case? <?php $handle = fopen("./menu.php", "r"); $contents = ""; if ($handle) {

        $contents = $contents . $buffer;

As Andrew pointed out, you need to use htmlspecialchars() echo "<textarea cols=80 rows=30>" .htmlspecialchars($contents). "</textarea>"; The reason for that is because the text may contain html control characters like <>&'" which the browser will attempt to interpret. http://php.net/htmlspecialchars I usually use htmlentities() instead http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php -- John Those willing to give up a little liberty for a little security deserve neither security nor liberty.
