The reason you get an error, is because you are trying to read the
content of the file named $filename, as opposed to the file named
whatever the variable $filename contains. Check up on the difference
between single ' and double " quotes. Another thing is that you
shouldn't be using quotes at all in this case. The line should read
something like this:

$file_contents = file_get_contents($filename);
