#3207 — file_get_contents() on Windows 7

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.

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....

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.
