Need a simple function - 15$ to the one who first posts it

Jawn · 07-11-2007, 05:48 AM

I need a simple function.

function ($url,$timeout){

return $pageHtml;
}

I need a function that returns the html source from a specific url.
This can be CURL or fsockopen, it should be able to handle redirects.
Payment will be through paypal.

FOLLOWLOCATION with Curl is broken in latest php versions both php4 and php5.
The function needs to be written in php 4.

Best Regards
Jawn

I'd expect this to do the trick

PHP Code:

  function getURLContent($url, $timeout)

{

    $oldtimeout=ini_get('default_socket_timeout');

    ini_set('default_socket_timeout', $timeout);

    

    $data=file_get_contents($url);

    

    ini_set('default_socket_timeout', $oldtimeout);

 
    return $data;

Thanks neroux, works just great, whats your paypal id?

PHP already has a function for this, it's called file_get_contents().

Yeah file_get_contents() is pretty much all you need to do what you want.
