I'm a beginner and i'm still learning PHP and I got a problem:
$file = "http://localhost/test_folder/test1.txt";; //I have also tried "test_folder/test1.txt" and "text1.txt" $fh = fopen($file, "r") or die("Could not open file!"); $data = fread($fh, filesize($file)) or die ("Could not read file!"); fclose($fh); echo $data;

The file exist, I'm using apache server on my PC for practicing and the file is located in the servers root folder on the subfolder "test_folder".

Is there a reason why you're trying to access it through a URL? If not, please don't.

The file path needs to be relative to the current file. So if your PHP file is in the root, "test_folder/test1.txt" should work. If your PHP file is in a folder named code in the root, "../test_folder/text1.txt" should work.

Also, depending on your PHP version you're probably better off using file_get_contents instead of fopen/fread/fclose.
