file_get_contents
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0)
file_get_contents -- Reads entire file into a string
Description
string file_get_contents ( string filename [, bool use_include_path
[, resource context]])
Identical to file(), except that file_get_contents() returns
the file in a string. On failure, file_get_contents() will
return FALSE.
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
J for a list of supported URL protocols.
Note: Context support was added with PHP 5.0.0.
Warning
Some non-standard compliant webservers, such as IIS, send
data in a way that causes PHP to raise warnings. When working
with such servers you should lower your error_reporting
level not to include warnings.
