assign source code to a variable

[texn]

I have a variable ($source) which i would like to assign the source code of another page to. (have the file open an ebay page, and assign the source to the variable.) I would like to do this so i can parse through it all and pull out a few key bits of info (current bid, number of bids, time remaining) from the autions i have listed. Can anyone assist me with code for opening/assigning the source to this variable? Thank you.

using [man]file_get_contents [/man] you can get the entire file and put it into a string like

$file  = file_get_contents ('http://ebay.com');

then your going to want to parse the infomation.

you can use [man]explode[/man] to get the infomation you want.
