There is one difference, quite important too. By default, with file_get_contents there is no limit on the buffer, if you tell PHP to "file_get_contents" a 50 MB file, it will, or it'll try anyway. As of PHP 5.1.0 you can change this behavior using the additional parameters set in the function call.
