updating one file?

[drasque]

what's the best way to update a page simply by updating one file?

the text file contains headings and then an article for the heading. how do i go about creating a page that shows only the heading and then links to the full article?

And then when I want to update, simply update the text file?

I'm new to PHP, so any ideas would be extrememly helpful, thanks :)

You just need to use a PHP include to do this. Something like:

<?PHP
include "yourfile.php";
?>Which will inlude whatever is in yourfile.php in the spot the include was called. You can look at http://us4.php.net/include/ for more information on it.
