Answer 1

Here's an alternative to file_get_contents using cURL:

$url = 'http://www.example.com';
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
$data = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

You might want to add this curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING ,""); if you encounter encoding problem.
