file_get_contents functions shows error

[newlearner]

Hi,
im working on a project to scrap some contents from a page and show in our page (News sites) .

I use file_get_conten ts function to get the content.
This works fine for local url but if i give a remote url(bbc.com) as the parameter it throws error

"failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Invalid header received from browser".

I have no idea abt this can anybody help me....
