Im not a PHP expert, just try displaying the whole file.

<?phpecho "<br>";$myFile = "http://www.amfiindia.com/portal/upload/downloadnav.txt";$handle = fopen($myFile, 'rb');$theData = fread($handle, filesize($myFile));fclose($fh);echo $theData;echo "hii testing!!!!";fclose($handle);?>

not much diff in the code..

<?phpecho "<br>";$myFile = "http://www.amfiindia.com/portal/upload/downloadnav.txt";$handle = fopen($myFile, 'rb');$theData = fread($handle, filesize($myFile));fclose($fh);echo $theData;echo "hii testing!!!!";fclose($handle);?>

as 2nd parameter for fopen ur using 'rb', as far as i know there is no such thing, try just using 'r'in fread u also use filesize() with an url, this doesnt work below php5, but if you use php5, i think you can also just use file_get_contents() instead of fopen+fread+fclose

If you append 'b' to any mode it opens it in binary mode instead, you can use it with any of the other modes. It's actually preferred to use it on Windows systems at least.The first fclose statement is causing an error before you print the data, $fh doesn't exist. Try this:

<?php$myFile = "http://www.amfiindia.com/portal/upload/downloadnav.txt";$data = file_get_contents($myFile);echo $data;?>

There might also be issues on your server with trying to open files over http. If that doesn't work you may need to open a socket connection and get the data that way.

the result was the same http://bbala2020.freeweb7.com/test3.phpthe server uses php 5 (said so)is there any function similar to mysql_error for showing php errors?? how to open a socket connection ? i actually want to process this text file and store it in a database. http://www.amfiindia.com/portal/upload/downloadnav.txtIs there any way to make this script run at some specified time daily?

You can use this to make sure that error messages show up:ini_set("display_errors", 1);error_reporting(E_ALL);You can use this to open a socket:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.phpOn a Linux server you can use a utility called cron to schedule things to run, and Windows has the task scheduler.
