PHP readfile from external server?

You have a syntax error, not a problem with readfile() as @Will already mentioned.

Probably your server is set to not open remote files, so you can not use fopen, readfile and similar commands on it unless you change its configuration.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
