Pull variables from a remote page

I am wanting to setup a script that fopen's or similar a remote php file with the output of say:

version= 1.1.0
date= 01/22/13
link= http://example.com/1.1.0
blah= blah

But I am wanting to remotely, turn this file into the corresponding variables in the local php script.

I have seen this done many of places, but can't seem to find a how-to on it!

you could make it into an ini file

[Current Release]
version=1.1.0
date="1/22/13"

Then in a file that will be requested by the server

$content = parse_ini_file('my_file.ini');
//JSON
echo json_encode($content);

"file" returns an array of lines. Explode these on the "=" and assign to a variable variable.

<?
    $configLines = file('configfile.txt');
    foreach ($configLines as $av)
    {
        list ($a, $v) = explode('=', $av);
        $$a = $v;   
    }

?>
