sorry i just love LMGTFY... however there are litereally hundreds of guides out there on this. try phpclasses for a premade script to rip sections out you require from a html page if you require

file_get_contents

I tried those functions. But they did not accept links in localhost

 

http://localhost/xxxxx/index.php?action=viewarti&artid=5

cURL and file:

 

$url = "http://someurl.com/something";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETRUNTRANSFER, ture);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, ture);
$opt = curl_exec($ch);

$handle = fopen("myfile.txt", "wb");
fwrite($handle, $opt);
fclose($handle);

When your script goes live(which i assume it will) you wont be using a localhost address....To test the part you write that writes the contents to a file you can use almost any url, or place a sample file file on a server, for sakes of testing you can use "http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?board=1.0" and if the HTML from the page gets written to your file, then it will almost certainly work with other URL's you specify....

 

Or look into configuring virtual host on your local apache install.
