Why on earth would you want to reinvent the wheel? There's no point in
saying that fopen/fread/fclose is better, in fact, let me quote from
the manual page of file_get_contents:
"file_get_contents() is the preferred way to read the contents of a
file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques if supported
by your OS to enhance performance."
If your solution would fix the problem (I doubt, but ok), then you
should report a bug to the PHP devs that file_get_contents is broken.
To the OP: Show some code, there might be something else.
