:mad: it says

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/www/webideyt/testing/logload.php on line 3

I guess it is something to do with my webserver not having CURL 😕

Any other way?

Thanks

Dave

Curl is an additional library that isn't enabled by default. You can check to see if your server has it by running a phpinfo script. If you don't have it, do you have access to the server to install it... or can you talk to the server admin?

I believe it's also possible to get files using fopen(), but I personally have never tried it.

Curl is definitely the preferred method to do this kind of stuff though.
