This seems newbie. So what am I doing wrong? I want to print the contents of the file. I get resource id #1 instead. Do I need to add a header or what? <?php //$fp = fopen ("C:/Program Files/localhost/info.txt", "r"); //$fp = fopen ("http://compcanlit.ca/", "r"); $fp = fopen ("./info.txt", "r"); print $fp; fclose($fp); ?>

$fp is just a file pointer, not the actual contents of the file. You need to use fgets() (or something similar) to actually get the contents out. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php
