i am building a site with a lot of text and was wondering if it is possible to save all the text in a text file and reference this in my HTML to print it to the screen instead of having all the text in the HTML file.<!--content-->With PHP or SSI you can:<br />
<br />
.php<br />
<?PHP<br />
include ("yourfile.txt");<br />
?><br />
<br />
.shtml<br />
<!--# include file="yourfile.txt"--><br />
<br />
The only thing to remember is that for your new lines in the text file, you will need <br>'s unless you are importing to a textarea...<!--content-->Originally posted by Count_Rugen <br />

<br />
<?PHP<br />
include ("yourfile.txt");<br />
