[Question] Use readfile() instead of file_get_contents() for inline SVG

[dhananjaygbhardwaj]

Hi Bill,

In inc/helper-functions.php, within the ea_icon() function at L145, you're using the file_get_contents() function to inline SVG in the HTML.

I recently came around an old ticket on WP where someone suggested to use PHP readfile() instead of file_get_contents(), " as it doesn't cause it to be copied to memory before being output".

I know it doesn't make any visible difference in the loading, but I still wanted to hear your thoughts?

That's interesting, I wasn't aware of that! I'm updating it now to use readfile()
