fgets()

hi, i want to open a remote file using fopen() i tried both of these ways $filename="http://www.domain.com/filename.txt"; $file=fopen($filename,"r"); $filecontents=fread($file,filesize($filename)); this one didn't work because it's apparent that the file isn't in the local file system so filesize($filename) won't work ... the second way was this: $filename="http://www.domain.com/filename.txt"; $file=fopen($filename,"r"); $filecontents=""; while (!feof($file)) { $filecontents.=fgets($file); } this one worked well with PHP4.2.3 but with versions under PHP 4.2.0 it didn't work So what else can i try to just get the whole contents of the file into a string? thanx khalid _________________________________________________________________ Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp
