I have the following code:

<?php 
	  $fp = file('abc.txt'); 
	  echo "$fp";
?>

it is supposed to get all the text from abc.txt and print it out, however its only printing out one word: 'array', and 'array' isn't even in the text file.

Php.net is your friend. Or google. Or any search engine. It actually takes LESS time to google this then to come and post it.

http://www.php.net/file

file() returns an array with each line as a member. You need to use a for each loop to get each line and print it out.

[php]<?php readfile("abc.txt"); ?>[/php]

[PHP]
$filearray = file($filename);

if($filename)
{
while(list($var, $val) = each($filearray))
{
++$var;
$val = trim($val);
print $val;
}
}
else
{
print "Couldn't open $filename";
}
[/PHP]

Or my preference:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?php echo file_get_contents($filename); ?>
