hi what could i use to get a files contents without using file_get_contents as the php i have installed is doesnt support this and i need to get file contents,

the file is called end.txt, i cant use include as this writes it, require doesnt work, neithher does fopen

$msg1 = fopen(‘beginning.txt’);
$msg2 = fopen(‘end.txt’);
$msg3 = stripslashes($content);
$final = ” “.$msg1.” “.$msg3.” “.$msg2;

what am i missing, appreciate any help, Thanks, Rich

@SamApr 08.2004 — fopen might work, but you're not using it properly

the above block would be written
[code=php]
$handle=fopen('beginning.txt',"r");
$msg1 = fread($handle, filesize('beginning.txt'));
fclose($handle);
$handle=fopen('end.txt',"r");
$msg2 = fread($handle, filesize('end.txt'));
fclose($handle);
$msg3 = stripslashes($content);
$final = " ".$msg1." ".$msg3." ".$msg2;
[/code]

$msg1 = fread($handle, filesize('beginning.txt'));

fclose($handle);

$handle=fopen('end.txt',"r");

$msg2 = fread($handle, filesize('end.txt'));

fclose($handle);

$msg3 = stripslashes($content);

$final = " ".$msg1." ".$msg3." ".$msg2;

that works thanks, it get the file content which is htmlcode but instead of formatting it as htmljust writes it on the page, the " ". at the beginning of $final wouldnt cause that would it? maybe its something to do with the fread(), file_get_contents() would be a better solution so im trying to get the php upgraded to 4.3.0+,

Thanks

@shimonApr 08.2004 — If u don't have file_get_contents, there's always the old fashioned way:

[code=php]$msg1 = join("", file("beginning.txt"));[/code]

which doesnt have the overheard of creating file pointers, at least
