Launching a URL

[Franco Fellico']

When I am executing a PHP routine, I would like to start a page on
a server. Could be also interesting to receive back the answer so
I can use it contents in my program.

In other words as a sample when I am at some point of execution of
a my PHP routine I would like to send to the network:

http://www.someserver. com/somefunction.ph p?&user=$auser

Eventually I would like to receive in some way the answer page from
the server.

It's possible to do this?

Thank you from Franco in Italy

Use fopen() : http://www.php.net/fopen
Or fsockopen() : http://www.php.net/fsockopen

Or curl_*() : http://www.php.net/curl

file_get_conten ts() is underappreciate d imho.

If the server does browser check, you can pretend to be IE or Netscape by
setting the user agent string:

ini_set('user_a gent', "MSIE 6.0");
