Re: FGET nightmare (newbie)

Try this: <? /* program to display any URL given */ $fd = fopen($url, "r") or die("Unable to open location"); fpassthru($fd) or die("Unable to read file"); fclose($fd); ?> Just give it a location by adding ?url=http://whatever.com/you/want to the end of it. It's the basic idea of what you were saying, but any relative links will be broken, and you won't get any images if he's blocked your access to the site. You could modify it to actually parse the HTML and download images, stylesheets, and whatnot for you, but it'd be a bit more time consuming than this was. Good luck!
