http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file.asp

<?php
$file = fopen("welcome.txt", "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
//Output a line of the file until the end is reached
while(!feof($file))
{
echo fgets($file). "<br />";
}
fclose($file);
?>

for my efforts, my result is ";}fclose($file);?>

regardless of what I enter for the name of the text file, even if it does
exist. Or how I enter the path.

If it matters, I am using Rapid PHP 2010.
With the local php 5. server.

You probably did not configure your web server to use php to parse the php
parts of the php files. Instead your server serves the source of your php
file to the browser.

As you probably know, PHP runs on the server. If you see the original
source code in the browser, that means that you don't have a working PHP
set-up.

Read the Rapid PHP 2010 documentation to find out how to make its server
run properly or just discard the bundled stuff and install the original
programs, which are normally well documented.
