pulling content from a live site

[dfelstead]

Hi

Does anyone know of how to pull a live htmp page onto another html page.

What I am after is to use a live site as a background so the content of my site will sit on top of the pulled site.

I have been using the code on the test site but it doesn’t seem to display the images from the pulled site.

Test site:

Cheers

If I understand your question correctly, you want to fetch a live page from somewhere, including images, render that page, convert it to an image, then use that image as the background image for your site.

That's quite an undertaking.

No it's not that complicated.

I want to fetch a live page from somewhere, including images but it doesn’t need to render that page, convert it to an image, then use that image as the background image for your site.

All it needs to do is sit on my page as live html for instance sitting within a div. I can then put a layer on top of it.

There are several ways of fetching HTML from a site.

If your php.ini has allow_url_fopen set to "on", you can use fopen() and fread() to fetch the page.

Other possibilities are cURL or fsockopen().

Thanks for that,

Could you show/lead me to how I could write the code ito include this bit of script?

The PHP online manual has lots of code examples. See
