It is unclear what exact result you want, so we can not tell you how to get there either. So, again, explain what you mean by “byte array” in the context of PHP. — 04FS, Feb 11 '19 at 15:29

"Does not work" is not a helpful problem description. The code you show will print the base64 encoded content of pdf.pdf (assuming the file exists and is readable), which seems to be what you're asking for. — Peter, Feb 11 '19 at 16:15

This will get you the whole file into a string:

$fileContents = file_get_contents($file);

If you want an array of one-character strings, you can do this:

$byteArray = str_split($fileContents);

If you want an array of integer ASCII values, you can do this:

$byteArray = unpack('C*', $fileContents);
