You had a syntax error. Use this:

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$result= file_get_contents('ftp://160:654fearboss@149.202.249.9/scriptfiles/users/'.$num1.'_'.$num2.'.ini');
echo "<pre>".$result."</pre>"; 
}

While code often speaks for itself, it's good to add some explanation to your code. This popped up in the review queue, as code-only answers tend to. – Will Jul 09 '16 at 19:22

What's the problem. The problem is that u are using html code inside php code, This is possible but you are doing it the whrong way.

<pre>echo $result; </pre>//this is the wrong way

echo '<pre>'.$result.'</pre>';//the good way

You can read this how to use html inside php
