that's cool, but is there a way to actually get it to print out in in html? like in the middle of a document?

[LammaDog]

I wanted to do that too,

I tried Include();     but it didn't work out very well for me.

one way would be to stick it in a frame.

if you figu....   wait....   what if you....    brb....  naw that wouldn't work

if you figure out a better way to do that,  let us all know

[LammaDog]

hmmm....    putting a .phps file in a frame don't work either

[LammaDog]

Ok,  I got this figured out!

read and print the file!

$requesturl = "yourfile.phps";
$fp = fopen("$requesturl", "r");
while(!feof($fp)) {
$line .= fgets($fp,256);
}
fclose($fp);
print $line;

thanks lamma! Could you explain your code for me? If you can't or don't have time i understand, but it'd be really awesome if you could.

Thanks man

$requesturl = "yourfile.phps";   // set your .phps file
$fp = fopen("$requesturl", "r"); // open it
while(!feof($fp)) {              // start a loop that reads each line till the end of the file
$line .= fgets($fp,256);         // read each line of the file and append it to $line
}
fclose($fp);      // close the file
print $line;      // print it to the browser

thaks man

There's no need for any of that effort - just read the manual. The PHP function show_source('myfile.php') outputs the file and even colour-codes the syntax for you automatically.

[JRGweb]

wow even better! thanks man! instead of a php file, can you put in a variable with source in it?

[LammaDog]

OMFG!!!      hahahaaaaaa

I've been banging my head against the walls on this one for a week!      

oh well,  one of these days, I'll figure out what RTFM means
