HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: open in browser rather than download?

« on: March 22, 2011, 06:00:13 PM »

okay, thanks loads for the advice,

as i have very limited knowledge on HTML, let alone PHP, i have decided to try and battle with Apache HTTP server and get that running, but using HFS as the main "website" as such, binding apache server to port 8080, set a link on the index page to point to domain:8080 (apache server) which will be hosting a pre-made quote database php/mysql system!

that way i get the best of both worlds, the smooth GUI, easy filesystem etc of HFS while having the PHP support of apache

okay instead of having a flat text file, is there a way to create a page that will use a text file as a source, for example, the HFS template uses the filesystem as a source, and generates the tables of files etc that you see on the site.

is there a way to have a flat text file which a template reads and then displays each line as an entry?
meaning i only have to put new entries into the quote.txt and it will generate pretty graphics etc around that?

well my quotes page is not on the website at the moment, although i can show you some samples.

http://www.bugz000.co.uk/Files/Program%20Development/commandlist.txt at 1.04 KB opens fine in the browser

http://www.bugz000.co.uk/Files/Program%20Development/source.txt  at 22.56 KB however is opening as a download

is there a way to force a file similar to "source.txt" to open the same way "commandlist.txt" opens?

Hello, i am looking to make a page where i can log funny quotes from IRC and such, i have tried to create a database but HFS does not support PHP, so i have decided to go with a flat text file, but the problem i have is that the text file (after becoming too big) tends to appear as a download, rather than view inside the browser itself, is there a way to force it to open in the browser?
i ticked "do not consider a download" in the options but to no effect
