Answer 2

function getPage($url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout, $proxy="")
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
if($proxy != "")
{
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 0);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, realpath('cookies.txt'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, realpath('/cookies.txt'));
$result['EXE'] = curl_exec($ch);
$result['INF'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
$result['ERR'] = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
$url = "www.targeturl.com";
$referer = "http;//www.google.com";
$agent = 'Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)';
$header = 1;
$timeout = 15;
$result = getPage($url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout);
//$result["ERR"] contain errors if any one
//$result['EXE'] have the html of traget url you supplied in $url variable
//$result['info] have information.
you can use it like this
if(empty($result["ERR"])) // no error
{
echo $result['EXE']; //html of target url
}
else // errors
{
// do something on errors
}
// $proxy is optional
// if you want to open target url through a proxy use it like this
$proxy = "120.232.23.23:8080";
$result = getPage($url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout,$proxy);
