In php there is a file function that returns an array of text file strings. In the book of Laura Thomson "Web Development for PHP and MySQL" in one place shows the use of the file function with an argument - a pointer to a file

 $fp = fopen("$DOCHMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt", "r"); $filearray = file($fp);

in another place, the file path was used as a parameter.

 $orders= file ("../. . /orders/orders.txt" ) ;

What parameter does this function accept?

    Only the file path can be passed. By the way, there is excellent documentation in Russian, here is an example of a documentation page:
