View html source code using php

ooking for php script that can view external html page source?
well you came into the right place, i wrote 2 different php scripts which can be used to view html source code

here's the code


CURL

<?php
 $url='http://example.com'; // target url
 $ch=curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
 $htmlcode=curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);

 // output the html code
 echo nl2br(htmlentities($htmlcode));
?>

___________________________________________________

FILE_GET_CONTENTS

<?php
 $url='http://example.com'; // target url
 $htmlcode=file_get_contents($url);
 
 // output the html code
 echo nl2br(htmlentities($htmlcode));
?>

______________________________________________

 you can do it also by php dom, fopen etc..
so you noticed i used nl2br? yes but that is not necessary. i used this function (nl2br) to convert the "\n" to <br />

okay hope this small code helped you:)
