[K12OSN] PHP and include?

[Doug Simpson]

Thank you. . . I had forgotten about the file_get_contents function.

Include works, too. . . I got that one figured out. . .

The include method is as follows:

<?php include 'http://hostname/directory/file.txt' ?>
or in my case for a file in a user's public_html folder:
<?php include 'http://hostname/~user/file.txt' ?>

I know there is some security functions to add to keep others from 
constructing scripts to ruin things and those will be added as well. . .

Thanks again for the responses!
