Tried this. Get an error from my host: open_basedir restriction in effect.
I'm new at this. Do you know what this means and is there a work around?

Move these text files one directory below the server root.
E.g: /www/myserver is the root, so you create a directory /www/text-files.
This can then never be accessed from a webbrowser, but PHP can still find
