[PHP] fopen by URL is disabled, is there another way of reading a remote webpage?

2004-10-20 Thread Chuck Barnett 
Hi, my new server has fopen by url disabled.  My ISP doesn't want to turn it
on.  So is there a way to do an equivilant function some other way?  I need
to read a remote webpage and manipulate it.

Thanks,
Chuck

You could use sockets. Here's an example from the archives

The example is sending a POST, but you can easily change it to a GET.
