Code: Select all

<?php
echo readfile($FILE_LOCATION) or die("Unable to find file.");
?>

readfile() will print the content of the file. Maybe fopen() is sufficient.
If url_wrappers are disabled you might use php's ftp-functions or open a socket (if available) to send a http-request and check the response code.
