Pay close attention to the note that file() is almost IDENTICAL to readfile().<p> file() follows the same rules, meaning you can open a LOCAL file, an FTP file as well as a HTTP file - BUT the beauty of file() is that you can shuve your crap into an array as well as one long string and edit via loops as needed. <p> A conneciton will be established depending on what the leading information is for your file. <p> Kind'a didn't do the RTFM, and had to go back and re-read readfile() to figure out that you can open files locally as well! ;-) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php
