//(Requires  the  latest  CVS  for  fread()): 

 function  file_to_string($filename) 
 { 
   if  ($file  =  fopen($filename, "r"))  { 
          $contents  = fread($file,filesize($filename)); 
          fclose($file); 
          return  $contents; 
   }  else  {  /*  file  doesn't  exist  */ 
            return  ""; 
   } 
 } 
 ?>
