So I'm making a notepad app in PHP, but I want to add the ability to share the file amongst your peers or something.
It's based on AJAX, and it saves the file automatically, and the file is named to what your IP address is after being hashed in md5.
What I want to do is maybe go to /view/837ec5754f503cfaaee0929fd48974e7
, while the actual text file is located at /notes/837ec5754f503cfaaee0929fd48974e7.txt
I know I'll have to use file_get_contents()
, but I don't know how to display it on a page.
I could just have it link to the .txt file, but I don't want it raw. I want it to have some style.
How would I go about doing this? Where can I start?
