Save remote XML to local website folder

[harvlake]

Hi, I hope you can help me out.  I would like to be able to pull an XML file from another site and then store it in a local folder on my site.  That way, I would only need to pull the xml file once in a while instead of every time someone opens that page.

 

here is a snippet of code I found, but the size of the saved XML file is smaller and is not consistently the same size of file.  Some of the information gets lost.

 

$fp = fopen( 'http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=45.21640&lon=-112.63700&FcstType=dwml', 'r' );

$string = fread( $fp, 1024*9 );

fclose( $fp ); 

 

$fp = fopen( 'weather.xml', 'w' );

fwrite( $fp, $string );

fclose( $fp );

 

I hope I explained that

I think I have this figured out.  Looking at another question here, I see that someone mentioned curl.  Seems to have take care of my problem.

 

Thanks for looking in.
