problem in reading an external web page

AladdinMhameede

Hi,
I'm trying to read the page at this address:
http://www.tadawul.com.sa/wps/portal/!ut/p/.cmd/cs/.ce/7_0_A/.s/7_0_4AI/_s.7_0_A/7_0_4AI
to my php page,
unfortunately, I tried every known way and failed with all,
I tried fopen, stream files, curl, sockets.
If it has benefit I can show the code that I used for every trail,

okay, how did you try those? Show some of your code.

Typically this works (if fopen url wrappers are enabled):

$content = file_get_contents('http://www.tadawul.com.sa/wps/.....');
echo $content;

this is the curl code I used:

<?php
$URL = "http://www.tadawul.com.sa/wps/portal/!ut/p/.cmd/cs/.ce/7_0_A/.s/7_0_4AI/_s.7_0_A/7_0_4AI";
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); // Get the header
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); // Allow redirection
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookie");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILETIME, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,""); //Clear REFERER
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)"); //Fake Client
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch); 

echo $data;

curl is kind of overkill if you're not POSTing or sending Cookies or anything like that. Your best bet is to use a simpler function like fopen with fread or file_get_contents.
