I just wanted to write a file to the directory and read it via JS for a very particular use-case. Here's the script if you know what you're doing.
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'db_name');
$row = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM table_name"));
if(!$conn){
echo 'Nope, dead.';
}else{
$myfile = fopen("filename.txt", "w+");
$txt = strval($row['index']);
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
echo "Write complete.";
}
?>

<h1>Here's what I found from your file!</h1>

<h5 id="result"></h5>
<script type="text/javascript">
// As with JSON, use the Fetch API & ES6
fetch('instagram_id.txt')
.then(response => response.text())
.then(data => {
// Do something with your data
console.log(data);
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = data;
});
</script>
</body>
