Synopsis

int readfile(string path[, bool include])

Reads the file at path and outputs the contents. If include is specified and is true, the include path is searched for the file. If path begins with http://, an HTTP connection is opened and the file is read from it. If path begins with ftp://, an FTP connection is opened and the file is read from it; the remote server must support passive FTP.

This function returns the number of bytes output.
