<?
$fp = fopen("source.php", "r");
$out = fread($fp, filesize("output.php"));

you are opening source.php and using filesize of output.php.

you should use the filesize of source.php. remember to close $fp

Did that fix your problem?

Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. Having a starting PHP tag would help to. As long as you do filesize() on source.php instead of output.php, it should be cool.

In addition to the filesize() being called on a different file, make sure that source.php is in your php include path.

You can get your include_path by calling

ini_get('include_path');

and you can change it by calling

ini_set('include_path', '/path/one:/path/two:/etc');

exactly, not much to add, closing $fp is recomended but not necessary as it will be closed at end of script.

Also when posting in the future copy and paste php errors if there are any as well
