Submitting a form and reading result in php

[Hevymetal]

Hi

I would like to know with what function i am able to get web page as string by giving a url for imput?

And the other thing i wanted to ask is: with what method it is possible to get a web page as i asked before so that this page is somekind of query of other page.
Lets say i have url: www.googl.com and keyword "php" that i use in search and i want to read the page that comes after that query, where the search is performed with POST method - so i can't use the data from new url, becose it will stay www.google.com. So basicly i want to know how to submit a form in php and get answers.

Don't know if it is even possible but if it is - then how?

thnx
