which bug are you refering to? what is happening when you run that code?

You can do the same thing using fopen(), fread() and fclose(), but if file_get_contents() isn't working I'd suggest finding the root of the problem and solving it.

Can you explain what bug file_get_contents() has? I'm not aware of any. You're saying it doesn't work. What happens when you try the code? Are you getting an error message? Here's an example using fread():

$handle = fopen('../email/theemail.php', "rb");$email_in_put = fread($handle, filesize('../email/theemail.php') );fclose($handle);

Turn error display on, i.e. add

ini_set('display_errors', 'On');error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

At the top of your PHP file. Chances are that there'll be some sort of message telling you why it doesn't work.
