You can't use include to do that, "include" will only work if your calling local files.

You could try [man]file_get_contents[/man] to read the file/url into a string and then just echo out that string.

You can [man]include[/man] remote files, it's just not generally recommended due to the various security implications as well as the fact that it's often unnecessary.

For example, you could instead use [man]readfile/man to simply read-and-output the remote file.

so what is the best way and how linkedin and others does it?

I used file_get_conetnts and it's working fine except with some links but I don't know why..

if you check www.JassimRahma.com you'll see all links are working perfectly under my domain but getting external page excet:

http://www.jassimrahma.com/16

and:

http://www.jassimrahma.com/17

both from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

what could be the reason?

Well, stealing the content of another website and simply pasting it into the middle of your own page as-is isn't going to work because it would totally break the HTML.

if you really want to, you could Iframe it or use CURL to get the contents

It doesn't matter if you get contents using cUrl or file_get_contents. It will still be the exact same content, which means that

You always can do strip_tags and you'll get clean text, or left some tags(<b>,<i> etc.) those not broke html
