Yes and no..
as long as the extension of the file is not php or anything else by the server allowable to be php code then it will display as text.. if it is displayed by itself..
but to include the entire thing into a php page as a section on the page, you will most likely have to parse the file into a display function.
Not hard but it will fix the problem..
you might also just want to have the php codes for opening and closing a php area to detect that and just print the rest..
might be a little quicker...
detect header.. display character for character..
display all text until footer.. display character for character..
and looping through said process..
you may also want to convert all the html to view..
with a code tag..
make sure you don't close the code tag in the file though..
so you'll have to detect that also.. and I don't know.. find a way of changing the < to a lt.. and that should fix that problem..
