note 36263 added to function.file-get-contents

Users of PHP4 < 4.3.0 can use the following: It is binary safe and it can be used for external files. <?php if (!function_exists("file_get_contents")) { function file_get_contents($filename, $use_include_path = 0) { $data = ""; // just to be safe. Dunno, if this is really needed $file = @fopen($filename, "rb", $use_include_path); if ($file) { while (!feof($file)) $data .= fread($file, 1024); fclose($file); } return $data; } } ?> btw: If anyone knows about a decent way to tell the difference between local and external files, he may feel free to alter this to use filesize instead of the loop or eMail a suggestion to me. :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36263 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36263&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36263&report=yes
