note 42847 added to function.file-get-contents

In regards mattsoft's example: an empty string evaluates to false, so you should probably use !== instead: <?php if ( ($file = file_get_contents($uri)) !== false ) { // do stuff } else { // No good } ?> This is preferable to is_readable(), because is_readable() doesn't work for some streams. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42847 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42847&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42847&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
