I have a PHP file,But data of the file is the **Array**.

When i open the file , i am able to get its content, but am unable to read it as an array. Its just reading as a string. Is there any way to read a php file as array.

My php file looks like,

```
<?php $someArray = array (
  0 => 
  array (
    'data' => 'sadsa',
    'sadsad' => 'sdsss',
    ...... 
    'DOB' => 
    array (
      0 => 
      array (
        'Day' => '12',
        'Month' => '12',
        'Year' => '12',
      ),
    ),
    ..
    ...
  ),
  1 => 
  ...........
  ...
  2 =>
  ...
  ....

```

Reading the file using,

```
file_get_contents ( '$filepath' );

```

Now i want to read the file and access it as an array.
