This just dumps the content to the browsers. You could use file() instead if you want to loop thru every line. $file = "test1.txt"; if(file_exists($file)) { if(is_readable($file)) { if($file_content = get_file_contents($file)) { echo "<pre>"; echo $file_content; echo "</pre>"; } echo "Something went wrong"; } else echo "Cannot read the file '$file', check permissions"; } else echo "The file '$file' does not exist in this directory"; You should learn how to read the manual, because in the end we will not do this kind of things if it already is in the manual. http://th.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php http://th.php.net/file Best regards, Peter Lauri www.dwsasia.com - company web site www.lauri.se - personal web site www.carbonfree.org.uk - become Carbon Free -----Original Message----- From: Delta Storm [mailto:delta.storm@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2007 10:39 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: File reading code2 Hi, Can someone make me an example of simple reading a *.txt file on a hard drive and displaying that file with a echo command or some loop or anything path to file: (C:\Program Files\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\test_folder\test1.txt) btw the script is in this folder to.
