cgi or php to retrieve data

[Guest_imported]

I've had a hard time figuring cgi and php out...bought a book and still don't understand. All I want to do is create a page, in photoshop/fireworks with wonderful graphics and buttons. Now in that page is a list of clients that this guy wants..he wants to update it himself but knows even less about web design. I thought there would be a way to have php or cgi grab a .txt file and display that information in the web page in table or somewhere. Is this possible? And how the heck to do it. All the person who wants to update it should have to do is change the .txt file and the page would read that file and put up the info....this way he doesn't have to mess with the all the other factors.

Hi,

use SSI and rename html by shtml

For instance, print your HTML, then where you want the .txt file to be, type:

<!--#include virtual=&quot;myfile.txt&quot; -->

Assuming that the file is named 'myfile.txt' and is in the same directory. - Ben Russell
