Because include will execute any PHP code in the included file and readfile
will not, it just dumps the entire file to the webbrowser.

If you want to display the contents of an HTML document and that HTML
document should not have any PHP code in it, it's best to play it safe and
use readfile(). This is especially true if the HTML document can be visitor
modified (say, a guestbook), as not doing so could potentially let anybody
execute any PHP code they want on your webserver.

Why not include?

Any of these will work:

echo implode("\n", file($filename));

fpassthru(fopen($filename, "r"));

readfile($filename);

You probably want readfile().

Unless there is PHP code in there that you want to make sure it doesn't get
executed, 'include' will work just fine.

If you need to read the file and splat it to the browser, I think passthru()
is what you want.

[PHP] Read Vs. Include

[Karl J. Stubsjoen]

Hello,

I want to *read* a file into a page and not process any PHP.  I'm just
reading an HTML file.  I though it was simple, I thought I had it figured
out, but now when I try, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function read() in
/var/www/wherever.com/betastore/iscookies.php on line 41

Here is the code (line 41 is superceded by a +):

37: # display no cookies message
38: function NoCookies() {
39: global $DOCUMENT_ROOT;
40: $LocalScript = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/betastore";
41:  read ($LocalScript . "/thispage.html");
42: }

Thanks for any help.
