Parsing HTML files from an external web server

Hello List. I'm having a little trouble with parsing HTML files and inputting the data from the HTML file into a MySQL database. I get the following error when trying toparse the file. Warning: file("http://www.server.com/file.htm") - No error in d:\webpages\world\lists.php on line 8 The following is part of my php code <? $url = "http://www.server.com/file.htm"; $fileArray = file($url); $state = 0; $line = 0; $ProvinceCount = 0; $Details = Array(); **************** I then have more code which parses the file and parses the data and puts it in an array. I was wondering whether anybody could provide information as to what the possible problem could be. If you want more information, please contact me off-list. Thanks, James
