PHP file_get_contents not showing url link - php

Question

I'm having an issue with php file_get_content(), I have a txt file with links where I created a foreach loop that display multiple links in the same webpage but it's not working, please take a look at the code:
<?php
$urls = file("links.txt");
foreach($urls as $url) {
file_get_contents($url);
echo $url;
}
The content of links.txt is: https://www.google.com
Result: Only a String displaying "https://www.google.com"
Another code that works is :
$url1 = file_get_contents('https://google.com');
echo $url1;
This code returns google's homepage, but I need to use first method with loops to provide multiple links.
Any idea?

Here's one way of combining the things you already had implemented:
$urls = file("links.txt");
foreach($urls as $url) {
$contents = file_get_contents($url);
echo $contents;
}
Both file and file_get_contents are functions that return some value; what you had to do is putting return value of the latter one inside a variable, then outputting that variable with echo.
In fact, you didn't even need to use variable: this...
$urls = file("links.txt");
foreach($urls as $url) {
echo file_get_contents($url);
}
... should have been sufficient too.
