How can "file_get_contents" be used in PHP to replace the functionality of "wget" in a Bash script?

To replace the functionality of "wget" in a Bash script using PHP, you can use the "file_get_contents" function in PHP to retrieve the contents of a file or URL. This function can be used to download files from a remote server just like "wget" does in a Bash script. You can specify the URL of the file you want to download as an argument to the "file_get_contents" function. 

<?php
$url = 'http://example.com/file.txt';
$file_contents = file_get_contents($url);
file_put_contents('downloaded_file.txt', $file_contents);
?>
