I am getting an error when using get_file_contents,
i simplified my problem as below:

C:\TEMP>dir >test

C:\TEMP>php -e "echo get_file_contents('test', true); "
Could not open input file: echo get_file_contents(test, true);

C:\TEMP>dir test
Volume in drive C is MyCdrive
Volume Serial Number is A0B0-B175

Directory of C:\TEMP

25-09-2011 19:09 1.822 test
1 File(s) 1.822 bytes


The question is, why?

I also tried to specify full path 'c:\temp\test'
or with slashes in stead of back-slased like: 'c:/temp/test'
but no luck so far.....

Where is your file "echo get_file_contents('test', true); "? It is
obviously not in the current directory.

Because that's not how you run PHP code from the command line.

Try using the -r flag instead.

Then you will discover that you have also misspelled the name of the
function. You have it spelled correctly in the title of your post, but
not in the PHP code shown above.

i found the problem...

in my original code i was doing this to get the filename into $x:
$x = fgets($f);

and according to the manual the newline is included, so i had to strip
the last character of $x....
