reading a file in different server via http

[jlive]

is possible to have a php script able to read a file on a different web server ? how ? (using http I suppose...)

There's a couple of ways to do it (yep, it's HTTP).

the first is $fp=fopen("http://www.somefile.com/something.html")

you can also use $array=file("http://www.somefile.com/something.html")
