errors in here?

<?php
$file = fopen 
("http://hiscore.runescape.com/aff/runescape/hiscorepersonal.cgi?username=champinoman","r";);
$line = fread ($file, 1024);
if 
(preg_match('#username=champinoman&category=13.*align="right">(.*)</td>#mi',$line,$out))
 
{
$rune = $out;
}
fclose($file);
print $rune;
?>
