Loading a file into a DIV

[Ziggi]

Hi. I want to be able to load some content from a text file straight into a
DIV. Here's the code.

<p class="mainTxt">

<?php
$page = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$path = "mystoryfiles/";
$content = file_get_contents($path.$page.'.txt');
echo $content;
?>

Basically, I have a series of files that are accessed via links,
[url]www.somesite.com/somepage.php?content[/url], for example. But, given the filename
content.txt in the directory mystoryfiles, this doesn't seem to work... what
am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Try this:

$page = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$path = './mystoryfiles/';
readfile ($path.$page.'.txt');

Obviously, I am assuming /mystoryfiles is a subdirectory of the
current directory. Is this a correct assumption?
