Added in PHP 4.3.0 (current CVS HEAD): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-09 23:22:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] this is a duplicate of #5008. (same problem, slightly different proposed solution.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-24 07:49:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED] dear all very often the following expression is being used in applications using file manipulation (specially treating XML contents): $cont = join ("", file ("test.xml")); ... i would like to propose an addtional attribute in the argument list of the function file(). lets consider that: $cont = file ("test.xml", FALSE) or $cont = file ("test.xml") would be equivalent to: $cont = file ("test.xml") and on the other hand: $cont = file ("test.xml", TRUE) would be equivalent to: $cont = join ("", file ("test.xml")) the second argument would therefore represent an attribute, which let one specify not only to return an ARRAY (attribute=FALSE, default) but also a STRING (attribute=TRUE). adding this argument would not affect older or current implementations or usage of the function file(). what do you think about this? best regards, urs -- Urs Gehrig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.circle.ch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8882&edit=1
