i am tried using fopen and file commands to open and read a remote file to a php variable. On most sites its works but on some i get a "Warning ... -Success" and the contents of the file are not read. After going through the forum i saw posts stating the same problem but nobody seems to have posted a working workaround. some people replied that it is because there is a redirect on the page and that fopen and file do not handle that but gave no fix. is there anybody that knows what to do? thanks
