  I am new to php, I would like to create a function that when called
  sends text from a text box as a query to a remote cgi script ,e.g
  http://www.anydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi, and return the results as
 a
variable so that i can echo the returned variable to an html page.

 ?
 $contents = ;
 $text = whatever...;

 $ftext = urlencode($text);

 $fp = fopen(http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi?text=; . $ftext,
 r);

 while($data = fread($fp,1000))
 { $contents .= $data; }

 fclose ($fd);

 ?

 The response is now in $contents. Adapt to your needs.

Short answer: with great difficulty.
Longer answer: use some form of regular expression to extract the bits that 
you need displayed.
