Hi all! I want to open/execute a remote php file and get its result in a variable and then to parse it. I use fopen and fread. My problem is that $filename doesn't accept arguments. Code is as under: <? $filename = "http://a_remote_host.com/my_file.php?arg1=value1&arg2=value2"; fopen($filename, "r"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); ?> It shows the followings: Warning: fopen(): php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname failed in c:\apache\htdocs\search\action.php on line 3 Warning: fopen(http://a_remote_host.com/my_file.php?arg1=value1&arg2=value2): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in c:\apache\htdocs\search\action.php on line 3 Warning: filesize(): Stat failed for http://a_remote_host.com/my_file.php?arg1=value1&arg2=value2 (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in c:\apache\htdocs\search\action.php on line 4 Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in c:\apache\htdocs\search\action.php on line 4 Can any one help me in this regard?
