dynamic text from an ftp file

[weatherman]

I want to include some type of text scroller, marquee...etc that has content based on a text file that comes from an ftp site.

(Example)I am building a weather page and would like for warnings, etc to automatically update in a scroller.

I am a newbie at this and any help is certainly appreciated.

Maybe with some kind of serverside.

You could probably include the file:

<?php include'ftp://sitename.com/filename.txt'; ?>

Then when the page is called the conents of that file is written in as if it were always part of the page. Seemless.
