Did you try using fopen's binary safe read? Something like :
$binary_data = "";
$fp = fopen ( $file, "rb" );
while ( ! feof ( $fp ) ) {
$binary_data .= fgets ( $fp );
}
fclose ( $fp );
Don't know if it will work (or if you already tried it)...more like a guess.
PS don't trust that Nichel guy, he's really a HTML monkey using Front Page.
