(PHP 5, PHP 7)
Reads remainder of a stream into a string
string stream_get_contents ( resource $handle [, int $maxlength = -1 [, int $offset = -1 ]] )
Identical to file_get_contents(), except that stream_get_contents() operates on an already open stream resource and returns the remaining contents in a string, up to maxlength bytes and starting at the specified offset.
Parameters:
handle (resource )
A stream resource (e.g. returned from fopen())
maxlength (integer )
The maximum bytes to read. Defaults to -1 (read all the remaining buffer).
offset (integer )
Seek to the specified offset before reading. If this number is negative, no seeking will occur and reading will start from the current position.
Returns:
Returns a string or FALSE on failure.
Changelog:
5.1.0
The offset was added.
Notes:
This function is binary-safe.
Examples:
stream_get_contents() example
<?php
if ($stream = fopen('http://www.example.com', 'r')) {
// print all the page starting at the offset 10
echo stream_get_contents($stream, -1, 10);
fclose($stream);
}
if ($stream = fopen('http://www.example.net', 'r')) {
// print the first 5 bytes
echo stream_get_contents($stream, 5);
fclose($stream);
}
?>
