RE: [PHP] Anyway to open a PHP file and view its code in thebrowser?

Oh duh. Before I was passing the whole URL and there must be some kind of security measure in place so that users can't view the code of remote scripts. That makes sense. It's working fine using the relative path on the local directory which is all I need. -- <? //peekaboo.php if (isset($script)) { $fp = fopen($script, "r"); while (!feof($fp)) { $out .= fread($fp, 100000); $out = $out."\n"; } fclose($fp); } header("Content-type: text/html"); echo "Now display source code for: $script<br>"; echo "<textarea cols=50 rows=10>$out</textarea>"; ?> -- This works.. <p><a href="peekaboo.php?script=myscript.php">View Source for Myscript.php</a> This doesn't work.. <p><a href="peekaboo.php?script=http://www.mydomain/myscript.php">View Source for Myscript.php</a> Thanks for your help. It's always the little things that'll get ya. :) -- Kevin Stone <kevin@helpelf.com> > -----Original Message----- > From: Lars Torben Wilson [mailto:torben@pinc.com] On Behalf Of Lars Torben > Wilson > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 1:55 PM > To: Kevin Stone > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Anyway to open a PHP file and view its code in > thebrowser? > > On Thu, 2002-02-14 at 12:26, Kevin Stone wrote: > > How can I open a local PHP script and view its code to the browser?
