How can I get a web page on the server side using PHP?

I know how to do this in the Microsoft world: I can call the HTTPRequest class to get a page on the server - not on the client. I then want to find the title of the page in the DOM object to put into the new page I%26#039;m creating. I%26#039;m trying this:

$r = new HTTP_Request('http://www.yahoo.com/%26#039;);

$r-%26gt;sendRequest();

$page = $r-%26gt;getResponseBody();

However, I%26#039;m getting this error:

%26quot;Cannot instantiate non-existent class: http_request%26quot;

Maybe my web host won%26#039;t let me use that class. Is there another, easier way to do this?

Thanks.

Try checking this page out: http://www.php.net/manual/en/http.httpre...

That error message is probably because there is no %26quot;_%26quot; in HttpRequest. That page has some functions you can use with the http request class. I%26#039;ve never tried this myself but hopefully this helps.

Note that this class doesn%26#039;t come with the standard PHP installation and your host probably does not support it.

If you downloaded this script from http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet616.h... then it might look like

$http_request = new http_request();

$resp = $http_request-%26gt;raw();

echo nl2br($resp);

try finding a good script on hotscript.com. I used one from there once.
