PHP get plain text from another php file?

Question

I currently tried to get the plain text from another php file line by line, however it seems that it doesnt understand the encoding.

  $parsedFile= file_get_contents('source.php', true);
  $text= '';

  foreach(preg_split("/((\r?\n)|(\r\n?))/", $parsedFile) as $line){
    $text.= $line;
  }

  echo $parsedFile;

How can I extract the text from a php file by using phps in built functions and classes?

There is the built-in PHP function file() returning an array with an entry for each line, which should be exactly what you are looking for:

$linearray = file("source.php");

Holy crap, there is a function for everything in php. I was already scared that id have to create a byte stream and parse all the characters. I didnt really find any specifications for the php file so...

Just take a look at the documentation: php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php and php.net/manual/en/function.file.php

Is there any content in source.php and is this file in the same directory as the code is?

Sorry it takes a while for my question to be updated. Ill place code in here until then: jsfiddle.net/kva3ok5s

Indeed, I got a php script inside there. I do get the content as an array but I just cant access it. When doing it inside a loop the output is just empty but when accessing an item manually instead of using the $i variable it works for that one item. It is weird.
