Q:

Why can't I see my .txt file from this php script

I'm using this script to see the content of a .text file -
<?php

$file = fopen("Gin_List_Website.txt","r");

if(!file)
{
    echo("ERROR:cant open file .. :(");
}
else
{
    echo("opened the file .. :)");

    $buff = fread ($file,filesize("Gin_List_Website.txt"));
    print $buff;
    echo $buff;
}
?> 

But all I see is this line 

opened the file .. :)

What am I doing wrong?

A:

First you need to change if(!file) with if(!$file).
Here is more simple code example:
<?php
    $file = fopen("Gin_list_Website.txt", "r") or die("Unable to open file!");
    echo fread($file,filesize("Gin_list_Website.txt"));
    fclose($file);
?>
