I am looking for some sort of a tutorial to open a file and display the entire contents of it. This should be easy i just havent found much telling me what i need.
Also, when editing a file is there a way to change multiple spaces to
example:
"he ll o" would output "he ll o"
so i would want the file to be saved as
"h ll o"
any easy way for that also?

If you're on unix you could display the contents of a file with the following command:
passthru("cat filename");

Try this (untested)
Code: Select all
$fp = fopen("filename", r);
if($fp){
$cont = fread($fp, filesize("filename"));
flcose($fp);
}
echo $fp;
For the other part of you question checkout the strtr-funktion.

To replace all spaces with use
str_replace():
Code: Select all
$non_breaking_spaces = str_replace(' ', ' ', $normal_spaces);
When working with a file you can also use
file() to read it into an array and
foreach() to loop through the array and echo each line.
