A Variable Equal To An External TXT File...

Gramophone

Hi,
I'm Learning PHP and I would like to know if there's a way to set a variable to an external txt file. If this possible? How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

do you meen the contents of an external file?

$var = file_get_contents("file.txt");

or the name of an external file?

$var = "file.txt";

This:
$var = get_the_contents ("file.txt");

This work GREAT...Thanks.
Another question. I have this code:

How can I have the content of the file displayed in "Verdana font"?
And change the color of the font...
I defined it in the <body font="Verdana"> but it doesn't work.

I really appreciate any help...

Thanks

thorpe
