are there any advantage in replacing all fread() operations with
file_get_contents() ?

i.e.

file_get_contents("/usr/local/something.txt")

VS

$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

is that file_get_contents() is more efficient?

thanks.
