How to HTTP dump?

[Simpleton]

Help please!

I'm trying to dump the contents of a remote web page to disk. I've seen an example of how to do this using fputs but I can't get it to work. Here it is:

$fp = fopen ("file/to/dump/to", "w");
fputs ($fp, readfile("http://theurl.com"));
fclose ($fp);

The dump file is created but it doesn't contain the HTML source, instead it contains a number?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Simpleton

Here's a simple workaround for you.

<?
$site_array = file("http://theurl.com");
$text = implode("", $site_array);
$fp = fopen ("file/to/dump/to", "w"); 
fputs ($fp, $text); 
fclose ($fp);
?>

...that's done the trick!
