$var = join( '', file($file_name) );
echo($var);

bobio, that is the same thing.

See what you get with this:

$open=file("filename") or die(" could not open file ");

Sorry dear PyroX...
I didn't refresh the page for a while before posting. Then I saw after posting that an answer was already there. Oooops 😉

Personnally, what I use to read an entire file is :

<?
  $filename = "/usr/local/quelquechose.txt";
  $fp = fopen($filename, "r");
  $contents = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
  fclose($fp);
?>
