Re: Loading a File into Variable - How??

Hi Rasmus, file_gets_contents() doesn't work in my version of PHP (4.2.1). It says "not a valid function" or something like that. Also, I discovered that the filesize() function won't work on files fopened from the include_path. It returns a value of zero, so, I had to hardcode the bytes into the fread(). > From: rasmus@php.net (Rasmus Lerdorf) > Newsgroups: php.general > Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 15:14:13 -0700 (PDT) > To: Analysis & Solutions <danielc@analysisandsolutions.com> > Cc: PHP List <php-general@lists.php.net> > Subject: Re: [PHP] Loading a File into Variable - How?? > > In 4.3 you would use file_get_contents() > > In prior versions I would suggest: > > $fp = fopen('filename','r'); > $string = fread($fp, filesize('filename')); > fclose($fp); > > The implode(file()) stuff is very memory-inefficient. > > -Rasmus >
