(PHP 4, PHP 5)
int readfile ( string filename [, bool use_include_path [, resource context]] )
Parameters

The filename being read.
- use_include_path
You can use the optional second parameter and set it to
TRUE, if you want to search for the file in the include_path, too.- context

Return Values
Returns the number of bytes read from the file. If an error
occurs, FALSE is returned and unless the function was called as
@readfile(), an error message is printed.
Notes
You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename and Appendix O, List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for a list of supported URL protocols.

with PHP 5.0.0. For a description of contexts, refer to
