PHP is the Delivery Boy

Well...Ok. Maybe NOT the delivery boy but PHP sure seems like one. I mean...the Pizza Place is like the Database Server and my home is like HTML and PHP is who "concatenates" or joins the hot and fresh script to the HTML that sits inside the browser; which is like the kitchen table where we end up eating the pizza.

Next, I would like to know if someone can someone help me answer this question; and if you do I will make you my own kind of pizza. I have created a php script that takes a url file out of the database server ~ phpmyadmin and places the file onto IE ~ browser...but I have to "click" the file in order for it to become activated or open up. What php code do I use so I can automatically open up the retreived file? Here try this and place "lc51" into the textbox and you will see what I mean. http://inks-etc.org/SearchEngine/asif.html For anyone to help me solve this problem I will give you my pizza with is made with 6 months of ink that your printer beholds at a wholesale cost. Hmmm. Delicious...I mean for your printer and lovely for you as it saves you so much. This is what you will receive after a proactive solution is offered http://inks-etc.org/customerconnection/kraft.html you will recieve this but in your name.

Thank You,

There are a few ways to read the contents of a file, one of which would be to use file_get_contents.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php
 
$file = "/path/to/your/file.txt"
 
echo file_get_contents($file);

Weird analogy for PHP, BTW ;)
