There are also ways to grab a text file using Linux command-line utilities like
wget or lynx and place the contents on the local server. A PHP script can run
them with the exec() or similar functions.
Within a PHP program you can obtain a remote file (or generated HTML from a PHP
or other script) with the file() function:
$array = file("http://www.someurl.com";);
The variable $array is an array where each element holds a line of the HTML
source code of the file. The join() function can be used to place the array
elements in a single large string variable.
