PHP provides useful functions can read text file directly instead of open → read → close: readfile(), file_get_contents() - personally I prefer to use file_get_contents(), because it does not display anything after reading the content. |
Option 1) file_get_contents( $filename)
file_get_contents() returns string read from the source file requested.
...
If you modify something and want to save that file, you can also use file_put_contents($filename, $src)
Option 2) readfile( $filename)
readfile() return the text stream and shows its content while reading.
