Reading from files on other domains

[bokehman]

Is it possible to read from a PUBLIC file on another domain.

I tried:

$file = file ('http://www.the_other_domain.com');

but without any luck.

i think you can open streams to http instead of using file

$handle = fopen('http://url.com', 'r');

I got an error but it was because I miss typed the file name.
