only by ftp.
That's one of the advantages with php.. You can hide your scripts from
people who shouldn't have access to them, and still let them use the
functionality...

What he might have meant : "How can I get the HTML for a web page on
another site using PHP on my site"

The answer being www.php.net/fopen

or maybe he wanted kind of show_source() vel highlight_file(), but used
on another website ?

I have use fopen en fgets
now when I use fgets($fd,filesize("http://myurl.com"));
I get an error from filesize (errno=2 - No such file or directory)
I fixed it by filling in 999999 would like to see a better solution to
this probleme
regards Jonas

You can't do filesize() on a remote file because it's remote. You can't
stat a remote file. Another solution would be

$contents = "";
while (!feof($fd)) {
// here, 4096 is an arbitrary
// number, but it works well for me
$contents .= fgets($fd, 4096);
}

fclose($fd);
