Collect data (text) from another webbsite

[Busken]

Hi,
i start everyday at work checking NordPool (a stock market) but i want to put the numbers on my own customized start page.
Now to the problem. I´m not that good at php, but maybe i can read up on it and solve this problem.
I want to take a text from

http://wwwdynamic.nordpool.com/marketinfo/elspot/stockholm/elspot.cgi

and present it on my page.
Any ideas?
I have looked for the numbers (todays price) on a rss-feed but without luck.
I hope you understand my question despite my, sometimes, poor english.

Best regards, Erik.

assuming it is allowed by the nordpool site, you could simply use this:

$contents  = file_get_contents('[URL unfurl="true"]http://wwwdynamic.nordpool.com/marketinfo/elspot/stockholm/elspot.cgi');[/URL]

echo $contents;

there are all sorts of reasons why this might not work but the first step is to see whether you _can_ get the contents of the page into a php variable.
