Use curl or fopen() to make a request to that PHP page, instead of reading in the actual contents of the file. Example: <?php $url = 'http://blabla.com/player.php'; $ch=curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $buffer = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo "<TEXTAREA ...>" . $buffer . "</TEXTAREA>"; ?> > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Chubb [mailto:tomchubb@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 10:49 AM > To: [php] PHP General List > Subject: Re: file_get_contents > > Thanks Jochem, > Tried that, but it's still showing php code in the text area! > Any other ideas? > > The url is http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/updateplaylist.php > and you see it on submission.
