Problem with fread()

[DisOrDeR1337]

Ok, so i am trying to read a text file and input it into a text area so it can later be edited.

<?
$textname = $myrow["name"];
$textfilename = "$textname.txt";
$fo = fopen("../sections/Our Dentists/$textfilename", "r");
$readtext = fread($fo, $filesz);
fclose ($fo);
?>
Text:<TEXTAREA NAME="info" ROWS=10 COLS=30><? echo $readtext ?></TEXTAREA>

Why isn't this reading correctly

Thank you in advanced

<? 
$textname = $myrow["name"]; 
$textfilename = "../sections/Our Dentists/".$textname.".txt"; 
$fo = fopen($textfilename, "r"); 
$readtext = fread($fo, filesize($textfilename)); 
fclose ($fo); 
?> 
Text:<TEXTAREA NAME="info" ROWS=10 COLS=30><? echo $readtext ?></TEXTAREA>

Try that.

That doesn't do it either, everything is setup correctly, but it doesnt echo the contents of the text file... any reason why?

FYI this did it
$filename = "../sections/Our Dentists/{$myrow['name']}.txt";

$FH = fopen($filename, "r" );
$content = fread($FH,filesize($filename));

fclose( $FH );

even simpler:

$readtext = file_get_contents ('../sections/Our Dentists/' . $myrow['name'] . '.txt');
