Read php source from another php script

I have two files reader.php and somesource.php. Both in the same folder.

somesource.php content inside the php tag.

echo "hello World";

reader.php contents

$fp = fopen('somesource.php','r') or die($php_errormsg);
$string = fread($fp,filesize('somesource.php'));
echo $string."<br>";

I am expecting to output

echo "hello World";

But I am seeing a blank page. I even tried. curl and file_get_contents. Both with the same output. If I write anything outside the php tag wil be echoed as normal. anything inside the php tag is skipped.

Please Help

Depending on your server setup it may not read it without <?php echo $stuff; ?> in there. <? aka short tags can break a lot of stuff in my experience.
