PHP Question: Read HTML Source And Assign To Variable?

How would I do that? Assign the source of a seperate HTML file to a variable...

$filename = "/usr/local/something.html"; or $filename = "http://mysite.net/myfile.html";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); or $contents = fread ($fd, somelength);
fclose ($fd);

filesize only works when opening a file locally. If you open a URL as a file, you need to manually specify a length and may have to check if you read everything.

This is the easiest way that comes to mind.
