What php code would I used to display code inside another php file.

Like for example:

Say I have a php file at: http://www.myhost.com/myfolder/test.php

And I want to have a seprate php page to display the php code in that file on the screen. How would I do this?

I thought this may work but I'm not sure.

code:

---

<?php
echo http://www.myhost.com/myfolder/test.php
?>

---

Ok I used this:

code:

---

<?php

$show = include 'http://www.myhost.com/myfolder/myphp.php;

echo $show;

?>

---

But it does not show the PHP code of that file it shows the number 1.

Can any one help?

<?PHP



include("name.php");

?>

the page extension must be php i use it so i can update pages quicly

Will that display the code of a php file on the screen?

The php file will be parsed on the remote server before being downloaded.. so no, it won't. Change the file on the remote server to .txt so no parsing is done if you want the code to be downloaded.

If you don't want it parsed locally, you can't use include() either. try readfile();

dude...
