get remote url with curl help

[padanaram]

I have a program that sends a mass email to everyone that is in a database. The mass email program has been working fine, but my clients site is being moved to a new server and now that they have moved to a new server one part fo the program doesnt work.

There are 2 options to the program.

Either the admin for the list can type the email in a textarea box or the admin can check a checkbox and then type in a url in a textbox, the program reads the html contents of the URL and sends it out to the list.

I have coded this part of the program in 2 different ways and neither one works. If I code it with curl it doesnt even seem to get the contents of the url and if I do it with fopen and fread it grabs the contents of the url on the old server, but hangs up on the new server. I have the browser timeout set to zero which is unlimited.

Here is the code with both ways of coding this part fo the program.

if (isset($_POST['checkbox'])){

				     $urlFile = $_POST['message2'];
					 $openUrl = fopen($urlFile, "r");
                     $message = "";

					 while (!feof($openUrl)) {
                          $message .= fread($openUrl, 8192);
                     }
                     fclose($openUrl);

				    /* $url = $_POST['message2'];
					 $fileName = "url_text_file.txt";

				     $fetchUrl = curl_init($url);
                     $urlFile = fopen($fileName, "w");
                     curl_setopt($fetchUrl, CURLOPT_FILE, $urlFile);
                     curl_setopt($fetchUrl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
                     curl_exec($fetchUrl);
                     curl_close($fetchUrl);

					 $message = "";

					 while (!feof($urlFile)) {
                          $message .= fread($urlFile, 8192);
                     }
                     fclose($urlFile);*/
				}

Is there another way to get the html code from a url and send it in an email?

Take a look at what you are feeding it in the $_POST['message2'] and see if it is correct.

Also check the contents of the new location. Save the HTML file locally on the server and do an fopen to the file instead of the URL. It could be the HTML changed and is causing problems.
