Editable block of text into body of web page?

Gene · 08-17-2005, 04:10 PM

Let's say I have an existing web page, and on this web page is a block of text that I want to display, based on the contents of an exterior TXT file. Is there a simple way to include an outside block of text into the web page?

In other words, it's two files -- web page (index.html) and I want that web page to show the content of mytextfile.txt in a specific area of the page.

Thanks in advance for any pointers...

Let me just clarify.. You're wanting to include content from a text file onto a web page? From a .txt file in a .html file?

Maybe I don't understand what you're talking about..

but anyway, it's very simple if you use PHP.

index.php [The page you wish the .txt files content to be inlcuded on]

PHP Code:

 
<html>

<head>

<title>Test</title>

</head>

 
<body>

<?php

$fp = file("yourfile.txt");

for($i = 0; $i <sizeof($fp);$i++){

echo $fp[$i]."<BR>";

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/116437-editable-block-text-into-body-web.html
}

?>

</body>

</html>

The content your wanting to include
yourfile.txt

Code:

Insert your content in this file.
Include anything you like.

TextTextTextTextTextTextTextText

No problem

You're welcome.

Gene..I've also wrote an admin function etc.. where you can login and edit via the web. Let me do some final tweaking. And
