I suggest you try the curl library.
A simple way of using it is listed below.



<?php

// initiate curl
$ch = curl_init();

// set options for curl session
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

// execute
$pagecontents= curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

//print out variable contents
echo($pagecontents);

?>
