I am trying to open text file through PHP. The below code is working fine when I have text file inside the Project folder htdocs. 

<?php
   $myfile = fopen("Updates/updates.txt", "r") or die("Unable to open file!");
   echo fread($myfile,filesize("HRupdates/updates.txt"));
   fclose($myfile);
?>

Now I would like to open file from another drive from drive D.

I tried like this D:/Updates/updates.txt it is not working. any other ways?

Yes it has a way :) .Be careful to use forward slashes in the path to the file. 

<?php

$file=fopen('G:\\webdic.txt', "r") or die('Unable to open file');

echo fread($file,filesize('G:\\webdic.txt'));

fclose($file);
?>

Here i am using G drive on my PC. and it is working .
