I`m trying to load the contents of a php file, change some variables through a replace, and save it again, but upon loading, the file_get_contents doesn`t parse the start of the file for some reason. I tried this on my server and on the local server.
Example :
filesample.php :
<?php
$var1 = array('this' => 'that');
?>read_file.php
<?php
$fp = file_get_contents('filesample.php');
echo '<pre>'.$fp.'</pre>';
?>Output :
'that');
?>Waiting for your thoughts and experiences.
did you view the source. sometimes pre tags don't work for me and i know that browsers like to hide php code.

I would say that kkeith has got the answer here...look at what the browser is seeing
<?php
$var1 = array('this' => 'that');
?>
<...>
Looks like a tag to a browser ... even though it doesn't know what tag it is, so doesn't parse it, it still doesn't show it either.
<?php
$fp = file_get_contents('filesample.php');
echo '<pre>'.htmlspecialchars($fp).'</pre>';
?>Cheers
Works. Thanks alot ! :)
