[PHP] fgets()

[Khalid El-Kary]

hi,
i want to open a remote file using fopen() i tried both of these ways

$filename="http://www.domain.com/filename.txt";;
$file=fopen($filename,"r");
$filecontents=fread($file,filesize($filename));

this one didn't work because it's apparent that the file isn't in the local file system so filesize($filename) won't work ...

the second way was this:

$filename="http://www.domain.com/filename.txt";;
$file=fopen($filename,"r");
$filecontents="";
while (!feof($file))
{
$filecontents.=fgets($file);
}

this one worked well with PHP4.2.3 but with versions under PHP 4.2.0 it didn't work

So what else can i try to just get the whole contents of the file into a string?

thanx
khalid
