I didn't write the program so I don't know if there is a valid reason.
This is how it is used -
When a pilot clicks on his ID, a page is loaded that shows all his
flights in the format of a 3 col table. The columns being
Date/To/from. If the pilot then clicks on the date another page is
displayed showing the complete detail of that specific flight. The
text file in question is that complete log. It is output using

$rep_file = @fopen($report,"r");
while (!feof($rep_file))
{ $output = @htmlspecialchars(fgets($rep_file, 1024));
echo("$output<br />");
}
@fclose($rep_file);

Hope this helps.

Tom
