Try full path or something."); $data = fread($file, 250); echo $data; ?> Note that include not only includes a text file, but also executes any <?php ?> tags within it. So it's not ideal for sucking in a whole plain text file anyway. Check out http://php.net/readfile -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
