Hi,
I am trying to do some work that involves parsing through the HTML of
some webpages. But, I cannot find an easy way in PHP to actually get that
HTML. Say, for example, I need the HTML returned from
http://www.yahoo.com/, I tried doing an fopen(), but the only
way I can do
it is if I use passthru, or exec and use the linux wget, then use fopen() on
that file. Does anyone know if there's an easy function or way of doing it?
I essentially need to download the web file, and store the contents of it in
a variable to manipulate with my program.
