[RESOLVED] Need help with file_get_contents function

[richday83]

I created a php file with this code in the body tags:

<?php
echo file_get_contents('C:/private/filetest01.txt');
?>

I also created a folder called private with filetest01.txt on my C drive.

In filetest01.txt i typed in some text but when i upload the files it does not read the text.

i am using file zilla to upload the php files to my server. The txt file is on my Local C drive
