Question

Hi guys I want to create simple file system using php. I want to display content of uploaded file using php. But whene I upload html or php file then instead of showing its content, html or php code gets executed. I want to display that files without executing. Plz help me. Thank you.

If PHP get’s executed you are including/requiring the file. Read it’s contents instead, e.g. with file_get_contents()
To prevent the browser from parsing the HTML use htmlentities()

Example:

<?php
$filename = "test.html";
echo "<pre><code>";
echo htmlentities(file_get_contents($filename));
echo "</code></pre>";
?>
