What is the equivalent of ASP.NET's WebRequest in php?

Question

php中ASP.NET的WebRequest等效于什么？

You could also look into using curl if you're interested in retrieving remote resources.

You can to use curl .

Answer 3

Just to add that the file() function can work with URLs too:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php

A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled.

HTTP, HTTPS are both soported but using these functions you're generating only GET request.

I'd also go curl for the whole package.
