ID: 21460 Updated by: nicos@php.net Reported By: php@pgregg.com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: n/a PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: This bug has been fixed. Please wait a little the documentation's update. Thank you for your report. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-06 06:08:02] php@pgregg.com In function.file-get-contents.php it says "Identical to readfile(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file in a string." which is wrong... (or misleading at best)... readfile() immediately outputs the file and the return value from the function is success or failure. file_get_contents() does not behave like this at all. I would suggest that the document reads: "Identical to file(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file in a string." Since the return values from both functions are the contents of the file, just in different formats (array vs string).
