Remote Files

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm starting to learn CI, but I have a question for a new project that I plan to do. It requires remote files like other website pages and RSS feeds to be loaded.

Is there a function in CI that works like file_get_contents, or do I need to just use that function raw?

Thanks.

File helper explains how to use the help functions for this.

No, I need to be able to load pages from other servers, not the one the application is on. So is there basically something like CURL built into CI?
