Question

I need to perform a HTTP GET from PHP.

More specifically, from within /index.php I need to get the content of /trac/ and /svn/, find the ‘ul’ element and then render then inline on the index.php.

/trac and /svn are relative URLs and not filesystem folders. http://myserver/trac and http://myserver/svn

Answer 1

The simplest way is file_get_contents().

$str = file_get_contents('http://myserver/svn/');  // Or, if you don't want to hardcode the server $str = file_get_contents('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/svn/');  if ($str) {     // Find the ul }
