I won't even ask why... but if you started a webserver on your local machine the file() function does allow you to use http .. so file("http://mymachine/myfile.txt";); that's one way.
The other way is to upload the file using HTTP.
Neither of these ways are very secure.

Subject: read a file from local harddisk
HI... sorry to interrupt again...
I have another ridiculous question...
I have a text file in my machine... and a php-file in my host (such as
host.sk etc..)
I want to use my php-file to access my text file in my machine
directly...
I used fopen, and fread stuff... but didn't work....
Btw, can somebody help my with this.... I want to know how to access my
local file in Windows and Linux remotely... or it can risk some security
problem ???
Please... help me...
