Loading a text file into an HTML page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 17.2004

Hello – I’ve got a simple problem that needs big help!

I’ve designed a message board in Flash that uses a PHP file to write to a .txt file.

However I no longer want to display the text in Flash – I only wish to use Flash to write the file.

So how can I show the contents of the txt file in a simple HTML page? I’m sure there’s a simple operator that will effectively “load” the variables (as in Flash), but I’m buggered if I can find it.

All help very greatfully appreciated!

[B]include("textfile.txt")[/B] into a frame or whatever?

@AdamGundryMay 17.2004 — You need a server-side language, such as PHP or ASP. The code ShrineDesigns referred to requires PHP.

Pyro has explained the necessary code for PHP and SSI [url=http://webdevfaqs.com/php.php#include]here[/url]. You can also do it in most other server-side languages, depending on what you have available. However, you can't do it in plain HTML.
