Re: Reading a web page as a text string

Well a person could do something like this: <? $file = "http://www.php.net/support.php"; $fcontents = htmlspecialchars(implode('', file ("$file"))); echo "<PRE>$fcontents</PRE>"; ?> All this will do is return the webpage as text so that you can read it in your browser.
