You can use file() fopen() (if you have url wrappers on), and then deal 
with the data.

You can also use a browser emulator (snoopy.sourceforge.net) to get the 
information.

Finally, you can create a webservice at outputpage.php and get the 
results as XML.

You should be able to use any of the file commands.
eg. $contents = file(http://www.myserver.com/outputpage.php;);

fopen(), etc should all work too.

 basically like -
 
 $contentofpage = getoutput(http://www.myserver.com/outputpage;);
 
 any ideas? I need it to pick up the output, not something 
 that actually
 reads the content of the file...
