[RESOLVED] Loading a file into a variable

I was just wondereing if there is a way to load an external text file into a variable.

I’ve heard that u can use [i]openfile()[/i] to directly echo a file’s content onto the page. But that’s no good of I want to play around with the file in php.

I’ve also head that there’s a way to read a file using [i]fopen()[/i] eg.

[code]
//second parameter can content: a=append, r=read, w=write etc.
$myFile = fopen(“aFile.txt”,”r”);
//do something over here to load it into a variable
[/code]

For when I just echo “$myFile” it returns “Resource id #2”.

Can anyone help??
