dear all
very often the following expression is being used in applications using
file manipulation (specially treating XML contents):
$cont = join ("", file ("test.xml"));
... i would like to propose an addtional attribute in the argument list
of the function file().
lets consider that:
$cont = file ("test.xml", FALSE) or $cont = file ("test.xml")
would be equivalent to:
$cont = file ("test.xml")
and on the other hand:
$cont = file ("test.xml", TRUE)
would be equivalent to:
$cont = join ("", file ("test.xml"))
the second argument would therefore represent an attribute, which let
one specify not only to return an ARRAY (attribute=FALSE, default) but
also a STRING (attribute=TRUE). adding this argument would not affect
older or current implementations or usage of the function file().
what do you think about this?
best regards, urs
