I am resisting opening my email with those lovely letters that should be
written on the outside of every piece of equiptment in the house, "RTFM" :)
The PHP manual has an example that does exactly what you want.
<quote src="PHP Manual">
<?php
$html = implode('', file('http://www.example.com/'));
?>
</quote>
The code you would need is something like this:
<textarea>
<?php
echo implode('', file('nav.php'));
?>
</textarea>
This is just a quick example, you can throw in some error checking and
such stuff yourself.
