file_get_contents does exactly what the function name says. It opens a file reads all of the content from the file and stores it into a variable etc for your later use.

If you want to use an additional php file within your index.php you want to use include/require (http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php) There are also include_once and require_once variations but you can read the difference between them in the manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include-once.php)
