PHP Problem...

Anon

Ok, I am very new to PHP. I just installed a news updater, but am very puzzled as to how I get the news to display on my main page. Is it just like SSI were you call the text file?

If so, can someone supply me with the code, if not, does anybody have any ideas?

You got a text file and want to integrate it in a PHP page?

Have a look at the fopen, fread etc. functions in the PHP reference (www.php.net). An easier way to read in a file would be:

$news = file("filename.txt"); // news now is an array that contains one line per element

echo implode("", $news); // join the lines together and put out the result

take a look at file() and implode(), too.

Note that your news display page must be php (not HTML). An example:

// newspage.php - news display

<?
$news = file("news.txt");
echo implode("", $news);
?>
<br><br>
<b>That's all!</b>
</body>

hope you can get started now!
