How do you know this is not an example and they want to process the file
contents before writing it to the standard output?
And there appear to be issues with readfile(), enabled output buffering and
large files or slow connections. Not so with file_get_contents();
<http://php.net/readfile>
<http://php.net/file_get_contents>
