Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.file-get-contents
---

Example #3 uses "NULL" for a boolean parameter, while this works under normal circumstances, it throws a TypeError if strict_types is enabled.

The example should use FALSE instead of NULL for the $use_include_path parameter, like this:

  $section = file_get_contents('./people.txt', FALSE, NULL, 20, 14);

Test script:
---------------
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
// Read 14 characters starting from the 21st character
$section = file_get_contents('./people.txt', NULL, NULL, 20, 14);
var_dump($section);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(14) "lle Bjori Ro" 

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: file_get_contents() expects parameter 2 to be boolean, null given in -:4
Stack trace:
#0 -(4): file_get_contents('./people.txt', NULL, NULL, 20, 14)
#1 {main}
  thrown in - on line 4

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
