Load Page then Read

[duclet]

Is there a way to completely load the page of its HTML elements then read all those elements into a string?

For example, I have a PHP page that get its HTML content from the database. I want that page to completely loads, ie., get the content from the database, then write all of that page's text and html elements into a string so I can modify it (ie. remove all the links) to display it in another page.

Wouldn't it be easier to have two versions of the page produced based on where it is going, i.e. one with and one without the links?

Use file_get_contents to read the file into a string.
Use string or regex functions to operate on the resulting string.
