fopen remote url with arguments ie:*.php?item=1

[Scubanaked]

Hi, Scoured my books, and searched the forum, but can't figure this out. Appreciate it. : ) !!

$url="http://www.scubanaked.com/checklist_custom.php?login=brian"]
$webfile = fopen("$url", "r")

Errors because of the arguments

How can I gather page contents from a php generated html?

In case you didn't know, you might also be able to send the arguments in the headers? I'm not sure, possible.

I tried making them global variables , but that only affects my page, not the page I'm trying to open. Then I tried creating a cookie for the url I was trying to open with the variables set in the cookie, and it didn't work either.
