php get page source as string?

[jonmullen]

I want to pass a url and have a string value returned for the pages html source...that way I can then manipulate the sting and get the src for an image that the page creates dynamically. I have to do this this way since the image is created on another site by some method I dont know I have no way of easily duplicating it, and the image is not static so I cant just save a copy of it, and the source for the image changes depending on what variables I pass in the query sting to the page that holds the image.

fopen()/fread()/etc or file_get_contents()?
