This is really an issue for the manual, what you are trying to do there is VERY bad practice. You don't read in all the content at once, you read it in chunks, the second parameter for fread is the maximum ammount to read, and you do all your reading in a loop that checks whether or not you've reached the end of the file. while ( !feof($fp) ) { $str = fread($fp, 4096); echo $str; } ... etc..
