Please take another look at the manual page on fopen(). You're not using it
correctly. fopen() does not return the contents of the file, it retuns a
resource handel. You pass the handel as a parameter to fread() in order to
read the file.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php
If all you want is to get the contents of a file into a variable then you
can use something like this:
$contents = implode('', file("myfile.txt"));
