Yes I did (early-morning-itis I guess heh). Thanks for the typo
correction ;)
Ammended code is as follows:
>> > $output = ""; // Clear output
>> $url = "http://whatever.com/file.html";; // whatever you wanna pull
>> from
>>
>> if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) {
>> while ($tmp = fgets($fp, 4096)) $output .= $tmp;
>> fclose($fp);
>> }
>>
>> echo "The URL's content is: ".$output;
>> ?>

erm, don't wanna be nosy, but you meant fgets() - forgot the "s" - didn't
you?
just for others who read that one...
anyway, so it's safe and clean to use this one.
thank you very much!

You dont actually give the size of the file, you give the size of the block
you want to pull. For example:
http://whatever.com/file.html";; // whatever you wanna pull from
if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) {
while ($tmp = fget($fp, 4096)) $output .= $tmp;
fclose($fp);
}
echo "The URL's content is: ".$output;
?>
The "4096" part just means it will pull from the file pointer ($fp) in 4096
byte blocks (or chunks), and the while will keep pulling the chunks until
there is nothing left to pull.
