If all you want is to display the remote page, within the local page,
then all you need is fpassthru()
ex.
$server = "http://www.site.com";
$fp = fopen($server,"r") // "r" is for reading
fpassthru($fp);
This will display the results of the remote file (html or whatever) into
the local file (in this case, your PHP file).
