(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

readfile -- Outputs a file

Description

int readfile ( string filename [, bool use_include_path [, resource context]])

Reads a file and writes it to the output buffer.

Returns the number of bytes read from the file. If an error occurs, FALSE is returned and unless the function was called as @readfile(), an error message is printed.

Indicaþie: Cu această funcție se poate folosi URL-ul ca nume de fișier, dacă a fost activată opțiunea "fopen wrappers". Vezi fopen() pentru mai multe detalii.

You can use the optional second parameter and set it to TRUE, if you want to search for the file in the include_path, too.
