Pull variables from a remote page

[dante]

I am wanting to setup a script that fopen's or similar a remote php file with the output of say:\[code\]version= 1.1.0date= 01/22/13link= http://example.com/1.1.0blah= blah\[/code\]But I am wanting to remotely, turn this file into the corresponding variables in the local php script.I have seen this done many of places, but can't seem to find a how-to on it!
