fread bug? + how to read in a http:// file

hi... i found something strange in fread(), if i set the length to be read to a big big value php returns a mix of strange random error messages combined with html code from my script and from the contents read by fread :) oh yeah.. how do i read in contents from http:// file? what do i write for the length in fread()? $fp=fopen("http://anywhere.org/some/stuff.php","r"); $con=fread($fp,$con_len); fclose($fp); what do i write for $con_len? thanks, v. -- +++REPLY TO [VIRUS_AT_INDEX.HU]+++
