how to read html source to a string?

[Anon]

Is there anyone know how to read other sites' html source to a string? I tried file() and readfile(). They doesn't really work.

Lets see......

Try this:

<?
function httpstring($url)
{
$pagestring = '';
$pagearray = file($url);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($pagearray); $i++)
{
$pagestring .= $pagearray[$i];
}
return $pagestring;
}

//Now we print yahoo:
echo httpstring('http://www.yahoo.com');
?>

Hi,

you can also use following:

$url = "http://www.phpbuilder.com/";
$contents = join('', file($url));
