How to get HTML resource of a page by php - php

Question

I wanted to make my site let anyone when open internal links, the links open on the current page without opening new url in browser (something like what happens in Instagram site).
For doing this I wanted to use jQuery/Ajax to make XMLHttpRequest to a php file that will prepare the new page HTML Data so I started making a php file that returns a url resources to use them in my old page:
<?php
$html = file_get_contents("http://example.com");
echo $html;
?>
It worked! so let me use my own link in that simple script:
<?php
$html = file_get_contents("http://apps.bestbadboy.ir/solver");
echo $html;
?>
It doesn't work! I searched in google and stackoverflow for its reason, I got some sites doesn't allow to use this method and maybe curl help me! so let me use curl:
<?php
function curl($url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0');
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
echo curl('http://apps.bestbadboy.ir/solver');
?>
so after all it finally doesn't work again:(
I started searching but I found nothing! I just guess I should edit .htaccess file or put something in my url(s) that I want to copy them to grant access to php file that will do that. please help me how to make my site at this way (like Instagram opening its internal links)?

Very Well! I found my solution! after searching very much and trying many ways I found my problem! using curl is a good method for getting a HTML page source code, but the problem that was making this way not to work for me is I had edited .htaccess file to redirect http requests to https! and curl function I used doesn't support that redirect! so I put my url with https format and it worked very nice!
<?php
function curl($url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0');
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
echo curl('https://apps.bestbadboy.ir/solver');
?>
