Accessing and printing HTML source code using PHP or JavaScript

[DaveUK]

I am trying to access and then print (or just be able to use) the source code of any website using PHP. I am not very experienced and am now thinking I might need to use JS to accomplish this. So far, the code below accesses the source code of a web page and displays the web page... What I want it to do instead is display the source code. Essentially, and most importantly, I want to be able to store the source code in some sort of variable so I can use it later. And eventually read it line-by-line - but this can be tackled later.\[code\]$url = 'http://www.google.com';function get_data($url) { $ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 5; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); $data = http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14062158/curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data;}echo get_data($url); //print and echo do the same thing in this scenario.\[/code\]
