What does file_get_contents do?

This reads an entire file into a string.

For instance if you have a text file in the same folder and you want to get all the contents, you could use this function do read it into a string, which you can then process as required.

You can also use it to fetch the contents of a webpage for instance as a string and again then process as required.
