Returns the string read from the file or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 SplFileObject::fread example
<?php // Get contents of a file into a string $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $file = new SplFileObject($filename, "r"); $contents = $file->fread($file->getSize()); ?>
Notes
Note:
Note that SplFileObject::fread reads from the current
position of the file pointer. Use SplFileObject::ftell
to find the current position of the pointer and SplFileObject::rewind
(or SplFileObject::fseek) to rewind the pointer position.
