PHP text fileness

Once again, this has probably been asked numerous time before but I don’t exactly know what this is called or how I would go about searching for it. So sorry for that one.

What I want to do is have all the information on one of my pages be drawn from a txt file through php. I’m doin it all in html, no flash. So if you can point me to a tutorial or just tell me the code it would be great. I’m sure its relatively easy and everything, I’m just new to all of this.
Thanks in advance
