Answer 1

You are not echoing out the content of the textfile.
do it like this:
$myFile = "note.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;
This will output your content of the file.

Answer 2

i'm using this code in pure html file
You can't use PHP functions in plain HTML file. MUST be written in a PHP file.
You have now in your code:
<span>
<!--?php
foreach (glob("note.txt") as $filename) {
$fileArr = file_get_contents($filename);
}
?-->
</span>
Try with the examples above in a proper PHP file... then must work.

Answer 3

you can use file_get_contents function,
try something like this :
<?php
foreach (glob("note.txt") as $filename) {
$fileArr = file_get_contents($filename);
}
?>

Answer 4

It's very simple use file_get_contents();
<?= file_exists('note.txt') ? file_get_contents("note.txt") : "file doesn't exists"; ?>
That is all what you need. file_get_contents() get the content of file and returns it. I've also checked if file exists because it may be your problem. Also make sure you have proper rights to read the file(CHMOD) and file is not empty.
