file_get_contents :  Reads entire file into a string

This function is similar to file(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file in a string, starting at the specified offset up to maxlen bytes. On failure, file_get_contents() will return FALSE.


file_get_contents()  : is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques if supported by your OS to enhance performance.


Parameters :
1 >   filename   : Name of the file to read.

2>    use_include_pathOptional. Set this parameter to '1' if you want to search for the file in the include_path (in php.ini) as well

3>   context : Optional. Specifies the context of the file handle. Context is a set of options that can modify the behavior of a stream. Can be skipped by using NULL.

4>  offset
The offset where the reading starts on the original stream.
Seeking (offset) is not supported with remote files. Attempting to seek on non-local files may work with small offsets, but this is unpredictable because it works on the buffered stream.

5> maxlen
Maximum length of data read. The default is to read until end of file is reached. Note that this parameter is applied to the stream processed by the filters.



Example : 

<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
echo $homepage;

?>
