my own first php script needs a bit of help plz!

[mtbiking]

<?php
$textfile = $_GET['show'];
$handle = fopen("$textfile.txt", "r");
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4);
if ($textfile = 0) {
echo fgets(fopen("$textfile.txt", "r"); , 4); ;
} else {
echo $buffer;
}
fclose($handle);
?>


file.php?show=something

will pickup something.txt and display it

but, file.php

will not pick-up index.txt please will someone help?

i think its something to do with my if and first echo

[amonia]

echo fgets(fopen("$textfile.txt", "r"); , 4); ;

That can be the problem - but try to change the script.

Not sure what you want maybe this will work.

<?php
if(!$_GET['show']){$textfile = "index";}
else{$textfile = $_GET['show'];}
$handle = fopen("$textfile.txt", "r");
echo fgets($handle , 4);
fclose($handle);
?>

i have found that sometimes (") marks should be changed with just the single (')... god knows why, but its true :P

hope that helps, if you already got it working, i hope it can help anyone else ;)
