SSI can do that, like this: ... <pre> <!--#include virtual="/www/pcgm/bulletins" --> </pre> ...
I *think* that's the right syntax. It's been eons since I've used SSI. Depending on the host, you may need to name your file with a special extension, like ".phtml" or something. Of course, the server needs to support SSI. Better way would be with PHP: ... <pre> <?php $fp = fopen("/www/pcgm/bulletins", "r"); fpassthru($fp); ?> </pre> ... You'll most likely need to name the file with a special extension like ".php3" or ".php". Of course, the server needs to support PHP for this to work. -Mark On Sat, 2 Feb 2002, Peter Jay Salzman wrote: > suppose i have a web page http://www.dirac.org/pcgm/bulletinboard: > > > <HTML> > <HEAD><TITLE>Bulletin Board</TITLE></HEAD> > <BODY> > > </BODY> > </HTML> > > > and i'd like to put the contents of some file in the body, formatted as > verbatim text (say, between pre tags). i'd like to do something like: > > > <HTML> > <HEAD><TITLE>Bulletin Board</TITLE></HEAD> > <BODY> > <PRE> > `cat /www/pcgm/bulletins` > </PRE> > </BODY> > </HTML> > > how can i do this? i *think* php can do this, but i don't know a lick > of php. can someone give me explicit instructions on how to do this > sort of thing? > > if it makes a difference, i'm putting a form on the same page that adds > text to /www/pcgm/bulletins. > > pete > > -- > The mathematics [of physics] has become ever more abstract, rather than more > complicated.
