<para>
Identical to <function>file</function>, except that
<function>file_get_contents</function> returns the file in a string,
starting at the specified <parameter>offset</parameter> up to
<parameter>maxlen</parameter> bytes.
On failure, <function>file_get_contents</function> will return &false;.
</para>
<para>
<function>file_get_contents</function> is the preferred way to read the
contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques if
supported by your OS to enhance performance.
</para>
<note>
<para>
If you're opening a URI with special characters, such as spaces, you
need to encode the URI with <function>urlencode</function>.
