Trying single quotes should have gotten you >authFile = $authFile<
(without the arrows).
There is nothing wrong with the file function. It´s supposed to return
an array. If you want it to spit out every element in the array, then
perhaps you could use the print_r, var_dump or var_export functions.
If you simply want to get the contents of the file into a string, then
use file_get_contents().
