Hi Vivek,

You could just call WGET from php...

TJ

[Creactiv]

or the fopen function in PHP.

Also, file_get_contents [us2.php.net] should work too ;)

[jatar_k]

or a socket for that matter

I have to use Curl because pair has a lot of weird security.

<?php

$URL = "www.domain.com";

$ch=curl_init($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$source_text=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

print $source_text;
?>

The print is just to see what you have fetched for testing purposes.
