Hi,

the _current_ way of doing things in php would be
Code:
<?
$content = file_get_contents("http://....");
echo $content;
?>
If that does not work, it is most likely because the hosting company has disabled the feature. Now, chances are that they would also disable other features.

You should perhaps view a php_info file for your site and check whether it has
fopen_wrappers
curl
