PHP: read file to a string
Read a text file to a string variable using fgets.
code snippet:
<?php
// file example 1: read a text file into a string with fgets
$filename="input.txt";
$output="";
$file = fopen($filename, "r");
while(!feof($file)) {
//read file line by line into variable
$output = $output . fgets($file, 4096);
}
fclose ($file);
echo $output;
?>
notes:
this bare-bones example does not provide any error checking whatsoever.
