Reading the contents of a file with php is made via read php fread() function. Additionally we need to use other to functions for opening the file called fopen() and to close it with fclose(). PS : the f from the front of the functions comes from File. Here is an example of usage :

<?php
$textFiletoRead = "readFromThis.txt";
$openTheFile = fopen($textFileToRead, 'r');
$sizeOf = filesize($textFiletoRead);
$textContentsInFile = fread($openTheFile, $sizeOf);

fcolse($textContentsInFile);
print $textContentsInFile;
?>
