php - Get text from URL txt -

is there way simple php code displays text txt document, that's on url?

this i've got far. i'm sure i'm missing something~

<? $text = file_get_contents('https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28653637/snip/snip/snip.txt'); fopen ($text) ?>

guessing can't open it, since it's not on drive. workaround that, or fix guys me with?

thanks (:

too easy! :)

$text = file_get_contents('https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28653637/snip/snip/snip.txt'); echo $text;

explanation:

file_get_contents() return contents of remote file , assign $text variable. you'll have ouput these contents using echo statement

alternative: use readfile() function. output contents of file directly:

readfile('https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28653637/snip/snip/snip.txt');
