note pad to html or php

[bpsujith]

hi..

i have a notepad (or xml) file.
can i display the contents in to a html or php page..?

for displaying news and events.

I am not sure what do you mean by notepad. If your data is in xml format we can parse the xml using php and display it in the front end according to our need.

If you do not have any xml support still, you can parse the xml contents using javascript in the front end or render the xml using XSL.

hi...

i got the solution..
i'm adding the code here

<?php
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fgets($fh);
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;
?>


the php page displays the contents of the notepad testFile.txt

Ok. In your case notepad is an application name and testFile.txt is a text file contents. I think you could have rephrased the question like How to display the contents of a text file in php?

yes u r correct,
i actually means that..
i'm not sure, there is a code to display the notepad contents to php..
so i posted the question like that...

either notepad or xml...
its a mistake from my side.

thanks
