If all you want to is to fetch a page via the GET method, you can use either fopen/fread or file_get_contents functions passing the URL as file name. If what you want is a more complicated HTTP request like using the POST methods, submit forms, handle cookies and redirection, HTTP authentication, etc.., you may also want to take a look at this HTTP client class: http://www.phpclasses.org/httpclient -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
