curl alternative to file()

Post by Anima_Hariop »

As of now, I'm just testing a web idea I got in a free web host. Problem is, most of these web hosts have allow_url_fopen off. I need to use the file() function with an external url as argument. I searched for hours now for alternative scripts and most of them say curl functions can work. And now, problem again is most of the tutorials I found only suggest direct substitution scripts for fopen() and not file(). So, anyone.
