Can php open a txt file on other computer?

If can, how to do?

no

Well that sort of depends.

If the other computer makes the file accessible, in a way that the php server can access it, then yes it is quite possible.

If the file is on a http server on another computer you can read it much like any other file

Alternativly, you could put the file in a shared folder on the remote computer, and then mount the folder as a network drive on the computer that runs the php server.

okay okay okay its possible...

but there aren't that many legitimate reasons for it, so i was telling him no.

what you need to do is make a link basically to open the text file, place the contents of the file into a textarea, and then save it.

that may seem like *well duh*... but...

well, anyway, you need to put a file editing script on the computer you want to edit the file from, otherwise your asnwer is (legit.) no

I have tested that php can not put the file in the folder as a network drive on the computer that runs the php server.

Exactly what did you do ?, and what are you trying to achive ?
