    file_get_contents, which is binary content safe ( “rb” as fopen flag otherwise ) is the “evolution” and

    if(!function_exists('file_get_contents'))
{
    function file_get_contents($s)
    {
        $r=fread($f=fopen($s,'rb'),filesize($s));
        fclose($f);
        return $r;
    }
}

    the natural fallback for 5 years older PHP installations ;-)
