file_get_contents

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0)

file_get_contents -- Reads entire file into a string

Description

string file_get_contents ( string filename [, int use_include_path [, resource context]])

Identical to file(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file in a string.

file_get_contents() is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques if supported by your OS to enhance performance.

Note: This function is binary-safe.

Tip: You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename and Appendix I for a list of supported URL protocols.

Note: Context support was added with PHP 5.0.0.
