php function to include textfiles (.txt)

[webdesignerq]

How can I load .txt files in a content div like this

<div id="content">
<p>Sometext</p>
</div>
So that Sometext gets displayed through a php variable

either use
include("file.txt");
or
$variable = file_get_contents("file.txt");
echo $variable;

Or readfile [php.net]("file.txt") even.
