file_get_contents equivalent of curl function

I have following curl program which is working fine.

$data="var1=$var1&var2=$var2";  
$ch = curl_init("http://www.website.asmx/FetchData");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);

I tried following code to get same data using file_get_contents but it returns false.

$data="var1=$var1&var2=$var2";  
$result = file_get_contents("http://www.website.asmx/FetchData?=".$data);
var_dump($result);
exit();

What code will be equivalent to above curl program?

Notice the = at the End of FetchData in:

$result = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://www.website.asmx/FetchData?=".$data));

This should rather read:

//WITHOUT THE EQUAL SIGN AFTER FetchData...
$result = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://www.website.asmx/FetchData?".$data));
