GET external data using PHP

Those are actually the response headers from a web server.

You can use the PHP function file to get data from an source
http://www.php.net/file

There are plenty of examples there.

from an external source*

Not sure what I get when this is returned nor the syntax to use to perform the get defined below.
The URL you gave me http://www.php.net/file  was helpful but still don't know which function to use.

I used a simple:  $lines = file("http://www.q88.com/WS/Q88WS.asmx/GetQ88?AuthorizationString=" + "XXXXXXX" + "&VesselName=" + "Chembulk Westport");

This request failed possibly due to the syntax used above to insert the authorization string and vessel name .. (i can't include the actual authorization string for security reasons)


This was btw the Soap 1.2 code given by the provider (Q88) as an example for accessing their data.
