Bug description:  Online manual doc issue

In function.file-get-contents.php it says "Identical to readfile(), except
that file_get_contents() returns the file in a string."   which is
wrong... (or misleading at best)...

readfile() immediately outputs the file and the return value from the
function is success or failure.

file_get_contents() does not behave like this at all.

I would suggest that the document reads:
"Identical to file(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file in
a string."

Since the return values from both functions are the contents of the file,
just in different formats (array vs string).
