Oops missed part of your question;

> know what function to use to grab the page.  for the string 

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

There are some good samples on the page

       $dh = fopen("$url",'r'); 
       $result = fread($dh,8192);                                    

Hope this is what you need.
