PHP file_get_contents() Function
 Complete PHP Filesystem Reference
Definition and Usage
The file_get_contents() reads a file into a string.
This function is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into
a string. Because it will use memory mapping techniques, if this is supported
by the server, to
enhance performance.
