Having PHP import external pages into a variable?

[Tycho01]

I'm trying to make a site that 'translates' other sites (i.e. like Google Translate) using custom dictionaries.

However, while I do know you can just use <frame src="..."> to put an external site in a frame, in order to run my translation (mass-replace) script I suppose I'd first need the contents in a temp string variable so as to be able to edit them.

I've no idea how I might find this elsewhere, so I apologize for that, but is there a way of doing this in PHP (or other)?

Many thanks,
