At the moment one would have to read a file line by line to get the whole text. So instead of: $file = new SplFileObject( "one.php" ); $text=''; foreach( $file as $line ) { $text.=$line; } //$text now has the contents of the file We could do this: $file = new SplFileObject( "one.php" ); $text= $file->getContents(); //$text now has the contents of the file ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65545&edit=1
