Is there a parameter in fopen that sets the file pointer to the beginning of the file and shifts the content to the end for reading?

To set the file pointer to the beginning of the file and shift the content to the end for reading in PHP, you can use the "r+" mode in the fopen function. This mode allows you to read and write to the file, and when used with fseek function, you can move the file pointer to the beginning. By combining these two functions, you can achieve the desired behavior. 

$filename = "example.txt";
$file = fopen($filename, "r+");

// Set the file pointer to the beginning of the file
fseek($file, 0);

// Read the content from the file
$content = fread($file, filesize($filename));

// Output the content
echo $content;

// Close the file
fclose($file);
