Include .txt file in a tempalte parsed by php

[bigsoccer tech]

I have a list of topics called topics.txt

I want to include them in my new homepage, which I"m building at index.php using vB as the backend. Index.php calls a variety of tempaltes liek homepage, etc, as well as some stuff from vB liek fivelinks.

I've got it all working except for two things. One is login on the homepage. The other is how to include the .txt file inside the template.

<?php
include("file.txt")
?>

should work for file includes :)
use 'virtual' instead of 'include' to run a file
