RE: [PHP] remote files to servers

Of Course! You can use the fopen functions or curl functions depending on what and how you want to manage the data once you get it. Look at the manual in both of these sections and it will show you how to do it. BTW: What you are talking about doing is building a caching webserver. Apache can do this by default, so can many other web server so check documentaiton there as well.
