PHP File Handling: Reading File

In this tutorial I'm going to show how to read back information from files. So before we can read information from a file we need to use a function fopen just to open the file for reading. In this lesson, we’re going to use the “hello.txt” file that we created in the writing of file lesson. To start in this lesson, we are going to create a new PHP file called "readfile.php".
