<?php
        // Build SQL Query  
        $query = ("SELECT * FROM heading LEFT JOIN sub_heading ON heading.heading_id = sub_heading.month"); // SQL query
        $string = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
        $totalRows = mysql_num_rows($string);
    ?>
    <?php
    $resource = mysql_query($query);
    $previous_heading = false;
    
    // This will print the headings in a unordered list, modify if needed
    while($resource = mysql_fetch_assoc($string)) {
        if(!$previous_heading || $previous_heading != $resource['heading']) {
            if($previous_heading) {
            }
            echo $resource['heading'];
        }
    ?>
    <?php if ($totalRows > 0) { // Show if recordset not empty ?>

"Permission denied" means that the file that you're trying to read from is protected somehow. Check the properties of that file or directory

C://xampp/htdocs/ $resource['txt'].
