Just display it on the screen before writing it to the file...
form posts to showfile.php3 the form variable $contents.
Open the file for writing
write the contents of $contents to the file
then display the variable $contents to the browser screen.
Or... if you need more information from the file (say it's being appended
to) then do:
open the file for appending
write the contents of $contents
close the file
open it for reading
loop through it echoing the contents to the screen.
all in one post.
