file_get_contents

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

file_get_contents — Reads entire file into a string

Description

string file_get_contents ( string $filename [, int $flags [, resource $context [, int $offset [, int $maxlen ]]]] )

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.

Note: If you're opening a URI with special characters, such as spaces, you need to encode the URI with urlencode().

Parameters

filename

Name of the file to read.

flags
Warning

For all versions prior to PHP 6, this parameter is called use_include_path and is a bool. The flags parameter is only available since PHP 6. If you use an older version and want to search for filename in the include path, this parameter must be TRUE. Since PHP 6, you have to use the FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH flag instead.

The value of flags can be any combination of the following flags (with some restrictions), joined with the binary OR (|) operator.

Available flags
Flag Description
FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH Search for filename in the include directory. See include_path for more information.
FILE_TEXT If unicode semantics are enabled, the default encoding of the read data is UTF-8. You can specify a different encoding by creating a custom context or by changing the default using stream_default_encoding(). This flag cannot be used with FILE_BINARY.
FILE_BINARY With this flag, the file is read in binary mode. This is the default setting and cannot be used with FILE_TEXT.

context

A valid context resource created with stream_context_create(). If you don't need to use a custom context, you can skip this parameter by NULL.

offset

The offset where the reading starts.

maxlen

Maximum length of data read.

Return values

The function returns the read data or FALSE on failure.

ChangeLog

Version Description
5.0.0 Added context support.
5.1.0 Added the offset and maxlen parameters.
6.0.0 The use_include_path parameter was replaced by the flags parameter.

Notes

Note: Tämä funktio osaa käsitellä myös binäärimuotoista dataa.

Tip

Tämän funktion kanssa voit käyttää myös URLia tiedostonimen sijaan jos "fopen wrappers" on kytketty päälle. Katso funktiosta fopen() lisätietoa tuetuista URL-protokollista ja siitä kuinka tiedoston nimi määritellään List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers.

Warning

Jotkut www-palvelinohjelmistot, jotka eivät noudata standardeja (esim. IIS), lähettävät datan tavalla joka saa PHP:n tulostamaan warning-virheilmoituksia. Tälläisten ohjelmistojen kanssa pitää error_reporting asettaa siten ettei siihen kuulu warning-virheet.
