Hi folks, I have this in a php file ...

The magic question of the day is, "Why?"

 	$url = 'http://foo';
 	if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) {
 		while (!feof($fp)) {
 			$string .= fread($fp, 8192);
 		}
 		fclose($string);
 	}

 	// Now, I guess you want to write it to a file?

 	if ($fp = fopen('~whophd/public_html/blah', 'w')) {
 		fwrite($fp, $string);
 		fclose($fp);
 	}

What you're trying to do is a nasty, nasty hack. And to all the people saying "CHMOD 777 OMG LOL!", a pox on all your houses.
