//First Method
$r = new HTTPRequest($pageurl); $html = $r->DownloadToString(); echo $html;
//Second Method
$html =file_get_contents($pageurl); echo $html;
//Third Method (Using Curl) For this curl support should be enabled.
echo phpinfo();
//to check whether curl is enabled or not.
$ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP HEADERS curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // RETURN THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $res=curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); print_r($res[2]);
