Thanks.

I got this solution with javascript with a google search.

		function GetData()
		{
			var url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
			var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
			xmlhttp.Open("POST",url,false);
			xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
			xmlhttp.send();
			var result = xmlhttp.responsetext;
			alert(result);			
		}

I thought you wanted the source to be stored in as a PHP variable?

Yeah, you are right. I am trying to find a way to get javascript script variable in PHP. penagate's recommended function is also good.

Thanks.
