Hi, I come here to all you gurus, to search help.

I would like to know how to make a web-page get is text from a external file, is it possible?
Does it need a script, wich language is best?

Thank you.

imo, the easiest way to load plain external data is by using file_get_contents

$foo = file_get_contents('path/to/text_file.txt');
print($foo);

He's using PHP just for your information.

You could also do it with ajax, something like calling this javascript function:

ajax_loadContent('sampletext','external/externalfile.xxx);

Then just load the content with somehting like this in your html page:

<DIV id="sampletext"></DIV>
