How to read a .php file using php

Answer 1

//get the real path of the file in folder if necessary
$path = realpath("/path/to/myfilename.php");

//read the file
$lines = file($path,FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

Each line of the 'myfilename.php' will be stored as a string in the array '$lines'. And then, you may use all string functions in php. More info about available string functions is available here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php
