hello everyone,

i'm trying following code to show data from text file to user....

$myFile = "testing.txt";
         $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
         $theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));
         fclose($fh);
         return $theData;

but it s showing error "no such file or directory" ... Is it the right way ?? or please tell me how to do it...

Make sure you have the path correct. In SilverStripe the base path for PHP scripts is /sapphire/ (because the 'root' is sapphire/main.php) If I remember correctly so what every path you give to fopen has to be relative to the sapphire/ dir.

[edit heh you bet me my a couple minutes]

Hard coding the full path is risky as if you ever move the site it will break.
