Yes I did (early-morning-itis I guess heh). Thanks for the typo
correction ;)
Ammended code is as follows:
>> > $output = ""; // Clear output
>> $url = "http://whatever.com/file.html";; // whatever you wanna pull
>> from
>>
>> if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) {
>> while ($tmp = fgets($fp, 4096)) $output .= $tmp;
>> fclose($fp);
>> }
>>
>> echo "The URL's content is: ".$output;
>> ?>

erm, don't wanna be nosy, but you meant fgets() - forgot the "s" - didn't
you?
just for others who read that one...
anyway, so it's safe and clean to use this one.
thank you very much!

You dont actually give the size of the file, you give the size of the block
you want to pull. For example:
http://whatever.com/file.html";; // whatever you wanna pull from
if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) {
while ($tmp = fget($fp, 4096)) $output .= $tmp;
fclose($fp);
}
echo "The URL's content is: ".$output;
?>
The "4096" part just means it will pull from the file pointer ($fp) in 4096
byte blocks (or chunks), and the while will keep pulling the chunks until
there is nothing left to pull.

[PHP] problem with fread
Hy, i have a question about the fread() function. i want to read data from a webserver url, which i don't know the exact size of, i only know that it varies. i see i have to give the lentgh of a file when reading it, but for remote files i have no way to check the size. And i saw no way to tell fread it should just read until the end. ok, i could set the filesize very high,. but this seems a dirty solution. on the other hand there is the fgets() function to read data "line by line" - but my data has no linbreaks, it's only serialized php variable data that comes in one line. what's the best olution for that situation? tia, henning -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
