I recently wrote a large program the reference variables from a txt file. It works fine but was want to have the txt file instead of being the the same dir as the script, instead me on mysite and reference it from there. Before i used $color = FileOpen("color.txt", 0) I thought this might work $color = FileOpen("http://mysite.com/color.txt", 0) Since anyone could see it and it worked in my web-browser. However non of the variables now work and im thinking its not actually opening the file
