fopen what can it do?

Hey my client's host is being well....g_y. See they were bought out and changed a whole bunch of things on me. Basically stripped my clients account, took our MySQL priviliges away, and thought it would be funny and change how to FTP login and not tell anyone. Nice company eh? I will not say who it was (JUMP) sorry I am just not that (LINE.COM) mean. Although I will break up their name into () and place it throughout the text. Also place it in all CAPS. So here is my question. With fopen calling a file is that smart or stupid? I do not want to hard code everything in cause it will take far to long. So can you take variables out of a file? Or could I do a .inc and load the variables that way? Which would be best?

Using include() is faster than opening a file, but then again, you can't write to a file with include().

Is it smart ? ...

Depends on what you need to do with the file. If you only want to read the file, use an include. You can use variables from an included file.

Thanks after I asked the question I went to the .inc structure. It works really good and looks nice. 🙂 Thanks David!
