Fetch another sites HTML via cURL?

gnomer

Hey,

I'm trying to get my head around cURL.

Basically, ATM, I'm just trying to grab the pages HTML.

Can anyone give me a tip with starting this off?

Thanks!

Disregard this topic, I have solved it myself.

file_get_contents($url);

Here's a good starting point on making sure curl is set up and working (read the comments)... http://ie.php.net/curl

The most basic way to get something happening is this...
[php]
$url = "http://example.com";
$handle = curl_init($url); //initialize
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); //makes curl_exec() return the contents of the url instead of just true or false (default)
$contents = curl_exec($handle); //make curl go
curl_close($handle); //clean up
[/php]
