Getting info from remote host

An outside host cgi script outputs some information, in this case - stock price. They output in plain ascii, stock price and last update on two separate lines. Would PHP be able to request the info from the CGI [it's a URL] and output it onto a page? I asked this here just in case there was some database temporary storage ideas out there too. My idea was to make the http request and load it into an array, to be output in a PHP page. Thanks, Ryan
