    I just bought a script, but it won't work because DreamHost doesn't allow file_get_contents()

    They provided me with an alternative but I can't seem to make it work because I'm not an experienced php programmer. http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL

    Can someone help me? My msn is add me please - I would post it here but it's not an open source script. I'm out of paypal cash, but I can provide you a free link to a site that gets 2-3k uniques per day.

    Thanks.

    EDIT: The script is really small, only two files so it should be pretty easy (for someone who knows php).

    Try fopen, should be much easier.

    
$file = fopen($file,'r');
while($cont = fread($file,1024536)){
$file_content .= $cont;
}
fclose($file);
    PHP:
    Peace,

    isn't fopen() disabled also, if file_get_contents() is? and file() also? (for remote urls)
