[RESOLVED] PHP & TXT files - is this possible??

[stuartbrown20]

Ok so I have a client who wants to be able to update information on their page themselves, sortof like an online bulletin board kindof...

I am very loathed to try and teach them basic HTML editing and don't want them messing with stuff in Dreamweaver...

Is it possible with PHP to get the browser to refer to some txt file i.e. "content.txt" and will read that file and then stick that onto the page? So the client can just type/edit info within a simple txt file and upload that and the PHP will just take care of putting it onto the page? Is that possible? :rolleyes:

Cheers...

Yes... At its simplest, [man]include/man would do it.

Though, if it's just a simple .txt file, I would recommend [man]readfile/man or [man]file_get_contents/man over include so that you don't waste PHP's time parsing a file it doesn't need to.
