Fatal error: Call to undefined function contents() in D:\Lostseed\helping-hand\bible-verses.php on line 36

oops. ha, silly me I fixed it and got to used to naming files with a dash :P

file-get-contents = file_get_contents
str-replace = str_replace

What a dumb mistake :P

for reference on a function visit http://www.php.net/function.functionname.php
like
http://www.php.net/function.file-get-contents.php
in the url you can replace _ with - and get the same results :)
