Getting php to colect info from an .txt

[Anon]

Hello
This is probably an were easy thing to do for everyone with atleast some experience in php. What I want to do is I want php to get the text in an .txt file and write it out. Meaning that if I got an layout and such, and I want it to get the text to print out on the page from an text file. So I could link like this:

http://localhost:80/text.php?txt=text.txt

So when I write that is prints out the text.txt and the layout from text.php

in the text.php I could write like this:

<?PHP
if(isset($text)) {

echo ("$text");

}else{

echo ("No text to display");
}
?>

But instead of echo the $text -file name I want the text that the file contains to be printed out.

Sorry if the explanation wasnt the best...

This is how..
<?PHP
if(isset($text)) {
include("$text");
}else{
echo ("No text to display");
}
?>

But i think you should make ure you dont store those files in the same folder as this, and you should have a certan syntax on them. Heres the best way

Http://blah.com/blah.php?text=blah
<?PHP
if(isset($text)) {
include("text/$text.inc.php")
}else{
echo ("No text to display");
}
?>
