Store URL in a variable

megapepp

I'd like to enter a URL. The content of the URL should be written to a variable. How to do?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I am gathering this is what you are looking for based on your title more than the post itself...

Say you have this URL:

http://www.whatever.com/index.php?var1=big&var2=Goodbye&var3=world&var4=cruel

Then you could call the variables like so:

<?php

$var1 = $_GET['var1'];
$var2 = $_GET['var2'];
$var3 = $_GET['var3'];
$var4 = $_GET['var4'];

echo $var2." ".$varv1." ".$var4." ".$var3."!";

// Output:  Goodbye big cruel world!

?>

If this wasn't what you meant, then you need to post more details and explain a bit more of what you are trying to do.

I just assumed he (or she) wanted to be able to put the URL in a variable so you can do something like this:

<?php
echo $URL
// outputs: [url]http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum[/url]
?>

Tho don't ask me how to get the URL there in the first place.

... or does "content of the URL" mean something along the lines of

$URL=implode("\n", file('http://theinternet'));
