note 29549 deleted from function.readfile by didou

Note Submitter: Colin ---- In response to the above where someone commented as to why you get a strange number at the end if you type: echo readfile($filename) The reason you get a weird number is that this is the return value of the function. From the definition the function will automatically output the contents of the file (echo is implied). $bytes = readfile($filename) will output the file and store the number of bytes outputted in $bytes. Hope this saves confusion for some folks.
