Questions tagged [file-get-contents]

In PHP, 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.

In PHP, file_get_contents is used to read an entire file into a single string. Depending on the server configuration, it can also be used to read URLs as well. It differs from file(), in that file is designed to return a resource pointer and then used read the file in chunks (i.e. CSV files). Use file for large files that should not be read all at once. Use file_get_contents to read smaller files and files that cannot be read as easily read in chunks (i.e. JSON)

For more details see the PHP manual entry.
