Try to get a file from a server by PHP

[NurAzije]

I am trying to make afunction to get information from one file and
print it or put it in an array, the problem in headers I can't figure
that it is giving me this:
********
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 14:48:06 GMT Server:
Apache Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Request header field is missing colon separator.

Host=www.imtec. ba
********
My code is :
*********
<?
function getFile($host,$ file)
{
$request="GET $file HTTP/1.0\r\n"; // This is the path part of the
link
$request.="Host =$host\r\n\r\n" ; // This is the server part of the
link

// Now let's try connecting:
$fp=fsockopen($ host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

// Let's see if we made it
if (!$fp)
{
return(false);
}
else
{
// If we made it, let's send the request:
fputs($fp, $request);

while (!feof($fp))
{
$response.=fget s($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
return($respons e);
}
}
echo getFile("www.im tec.ba","index. php");
?>
*********
Any help, what is wrong..
Thank you

I would suggest using CURL whenever possible . .

If you have CURL compiled into your PHP distribution . . .

The folowing pulled from http://us3.php.net/curl

<?php

$ch = curl_init("http ://www.imtec.ba/");
$fp = fopen("imtect.t xt", "w");

curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch) ;
fclose($fp);
?>


If not . . .

<?php

$host = http://www.imtec.ba;
$curl_cmd = '/your/path/to/curl '. $host;
$imtec_file = exec($curl_cmd) ;


. . . Save it
?>

.... or just file_get_conten ts() <http://www.php.net/file_get_conten ts>

NurAzije: If it helps at all, the error you're getting is caused by this
line:
[color=blue][color=green]
>> $request.="Host =$host\r\n\r\n"[/color][/color]

Headers should be followed by a colon and a space, not an equals sign. So
maybe $request.="Host : $host\r\n\r\n" would have been a bit more successful.
But your code is still going to fall down flat if you receive a chunked
response, for example.
