note 94846 added to function.file-get-contents

It seems that when using $f = 'www.yourwebsite.com/some_directory/some_file.txt'; $f = file_get_contents($f,'r'); echo "\n\n$f\n\n"; the server considers the address to be an external one even that "some_file.txt" is on the same server where the PHP file is run at In order to go around simply replace the domain name with ".." $f = '../some_directory/some_file.txt'; $f = file_get_contents($f,'r'); echo "\n\n$f\n\n"; ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 68.13.177.140 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94846 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94846 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94846 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
