Getting php code from server to edit

[Anon]

Is there a way to open a php file with all the php code there? I tried using the fopen command but it says "Resource id #2" instead of the code... What I have is:

$open_file = fopen("$script", "r");
fclose($open_file);
print("<textarea name=editsection>$open_file</textarea>");

but it wont disply it... please help!

Thanks

Firstly, you're not reading in the contents of the file. To read the contents, put an extra line, after the fopen() line, saying:

$contents = fread ($open_file, filesize ($script));

Secondly, when you're outputing this to the screen, you'll probably need:

htmlentities($contents)

in your print() line, rather than just ouputing the string to the browser.

If you're using PHP$, use the show_source function.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.show-source.php

It will even format syntax highlighting, etc.
