file_get_contents

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

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.

Notã: Această funcție este binar-sigură.

Indicaþie: Cu această funcție se poate folosi URL-ul ca nume de fișier, dacă a fost activată opțiunea "fopen wrappers". Vezi fopen() pentru mai multe detalii.

Notã: Context support was added with PHP 5.0.0.

Avertisment

When using SSL, Microsoft IIS will violate the protocol by closing the connection without sending a close_notify indicator. PHP will report this as "SSL: Fatal Protocol Error" when you reach the end of the data. To workaround this, you should lower your error_reporting level not to include warnings. PHP 4.3.7 and higher can detect buggy IIS server software when you open the stream using the https:// wrapper and will suppress the warning for you. If you are using fsockopen() to create an ssl:// socket, you are responsible for detecting and suppressing the warning yourself.
