[PHP] Getting Contents of Webpage

KevinJB · Post by **KevinJB** » Wed 09 Aug, 2006 2:05 am

I'm pretty sure there is a function to do this already but Google was absolutely no help what-so-ever. I just need something that will return a string containing the contents of a webpage (the HTML basically). How would I go about doing this, or does anyone know how what the built-in function is (if there is one)?

Wow, I need to wait a bit before I go begging for help. After much searching through the PHP documentation I found the function's name is 'file_get_contents(string url)', in case anyone else is wondering.

I think you can just fopen/fread it, too.
