read a text file from my pc??

hi all..:wave:
this code makes me read data from a text file uploaded on server

Code:

---

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

---

if is there is a way to read a text file from my pc like:

Code:

---

$myFile = "C:/data.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;

?????

No - not without uploading it first. You have to use an input[type=file] and the functions for managing uploaded files.

thx ;) i'll check it out!
