you can use include to save the return content of a document. the manual gives an example:

php Code:

return.php
<?php

$var = 'PHP';

return $var;

?>

noreturn.php
<?php

$var = 'PHP';

?>

testreturns.php
<?php

$foo = include 'return.php';

echo $foo; // prints 'PHP'

$bar = include 'noreturn.php';

echo $bar; // prints 1

?>

if you want the whole content and not just the return value of the file, you can always use file_get_contents

Another thing you might want to get into account here, is the performance too, specially if they are big files. You don't want them all to be hold in the memory if they are big.
