PHP command to query a URL

[michela rossi]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a command in PHP (version 4.2.3) that can pull
back the contents from a URL? E.g.

<?php
$remote_HTML = ServerSideGetUR L("http://www.noddy.com/");
?>

Is there anything like this? Anyone know?
Many thanks, Michela.

Re: PHP command to query a URL

Check out the curl extension (http://php.net/curl). You can also use file
wrappers; for instance, $content = file_get_conten ts($url);

HTH,
Pete.
