hmm ive been looking around google and php.net for a function to download an external HTML file. so something like this_function("www.google.com/index.html") and it'll download that file and save is as a text file (or whatever format)
is there such a function?
You might look at the CURL library extension to PHP; it'd do it trivially. But it's not that hard, anyway, I'd imagine...
I'd set PHP to allow remote fopen() and then use fopen, fread, fwrite, I guess ... ??
