Is this what you are looking for Doug?

http://webservices.remc1.net/playground/

there are two files in that folder

one called test
and one called index.php

test just includes a copy/paste of your message

index.php is 5 lines:

<?
print "<pre>";
include "test";
print "</pre>";
?>

I added the pre tags so that it honored the carriage returns you added.

The text file could have been anywhere it did not need to be in the same 
directory.

Just specify the path to the file in the include:

include "/home/scott/pathtofile/test"
