I need to read a text file & display the contents on the web page from which the php script executed

ha mo, Philip Olson, Marshall Bowling,

There are many ways to do this.  If you're simply dumping text (and not
processing it) then use readfile()
<?php
    readfile('somefile.ext');
?>
If your file contains valid PHP code and you want it processed, one of
the include functions will do this:
<?php
    include 'somefile.ext';
?>
If you want the contents of the file into a string or an array, use
either file() or file_get_contents():
<?php
    $filename = 'somefile.ext';
    $array_of_lines   = file($filename);
    $string_from_file = file_get_contents($filename);
?>
See also the manual entries for details:

  http://www.php.net/file_get_contents
Note that the above functions may also work through HTTP (URLS).
