fsockopen - dsiabled for security reasons

[Tomasz Nowak]

Hello!
The free serwer I use tells some functions are disabled for security
reasons. How can I retrieve contents of another website, without using
fsockopen and fpsockopen?

most general file commands will accept a URL as a file, opening that URL

for example

$bla=file("http://www.php.net");

If this doesn't work then the server's admins have probably turned
off allow_url_fopen. Since they're concerned enough about security
to disable certain functions, they might also have disabled the use
of remote files.
