    I tried using the include() function but it didn't work. All I want it to be able to specify the URL of a text file and have the contents of said file be included into the file. I know this can be done with shtml but I need this in PHP.

    It is working for me...

    <?
    include ("temp.txt");
    as well as
    include("http://someurl/temp.txt");
    ?>

    allow_url_fopen needs to be enabled in php.ini in order to include files via HTTP.

    include() didn't work even though allow_url_fopen was enabled. readfile() did work however.
