title: PHP: How do I display the contents of a textfile on my page?
body: <p>I have a .txt file on my web server (locally) and wish to display the contents within a page (stored on the same server) via PHP echo.</p>
  
  <p>The .txt file contains a number that is updated by another script on another page, but for this page I just want to pull the number/txt file contents from the file and echo it (to save the page having to do the calculation involved in getting the number again).</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this?</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I've got so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?php
      $myFile = "http://renownestates.com/cache/feedSubscribers.txt";
      $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
      $theData = fread($fh, 1);
      fclose($fh);
      echo $theData;
      ?&gt;     
  </code></pre>
