Need PHP "fetch a web page" script

[dabb]

Can somebody point me to a PHP script or code snippet that will let me fetch a web page using GET or POST methods? I'd be happy to donate some NP$ to the person who steers me to what I need.

Thanks!

What do you mean by fetch a website?

 

[dabb]

I want to retrieve the HTML of a specified URL. The linux equivalent of:

lynx -source http://www.blah.com/page.html > html.txt

 

[eagle12]

$contents = file_get_contents("http://www.google.ca");

You can replace "http://google.ca" with the form variable.

$_GET['site']
$_POST['site']

be very careful with this as you may make it possible for rogue scripts to be run on your server.

$contents = file_get_contents("http://www.google.ca");

I should have known PHP would have a single function to do this, thanks! I'm a C guy, but thought I'd do my latest project in PHP to learn the ropes.

Thanks again, NP$ sent!
