File_get_contents array/string

[BRUm]

$content = File_get_contents( "http://www.counter-strike.net/" );

This works,

$matches[0] = $url;
$newcontent = File_get_contents( $matches[0] );

But this doesn't :/ I've got the syntax wrong, does it need quotes or something?

thanks

[devinemke]

are you defining the $url variable?

$url = 'http://www.counter-strike.net';
$matches[0] = $url; 
$newcontent = file_get_contents($matches[0]);

Yeah, sorry if I didn't make it clear. It's a change, so $url is a different address:
Actually, forget the $url, it's not needed. However this array still doesn't work:

$newcontent = file_get_contents = ( $matches[0] );
echo $newcontent;

Returns nothing :/

I'm assuming that second '=' is a typo.

Does $matches[0] contain the correct value? Is it a URI? Are you getting any error messages?
