how to get content of webpage designed in asp.net using php?

<?php       
$url='http://www.cfp.net/find/EnhancedSearch.aspx';
$s = @file_get_contents($url);  
    if (empty($s))
    {
    // Web page empty/access failure
        echo "sorry!";
    }
    else
    {
    echo($s);
}
?>

------i tried with htmlextension page it works and also work for "http://www.cfp.net" but it shows error message as sorry that means $s is empty why $s is not getting any content in above code.

Please help me get content of http://www.cfp.net/find/EnhancedSearch.aspx in variable $s and save the content in html page i.e with extension html using pure php code.

Your problem is to do with not overriding the default user agent for the request.

The server is rejecting PHPs default user agent.

For some reason it accepts a wget request but not a PHP request by default - strange.

If you change it to a spoofed browser user agent then the request works.

Heres the full code:

$opts = array(
        'http'=>array(
                'method'=>"GET",
                'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6',
        )
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$url='http://www.cfp.net/find/EnhancedSearch.aspx';

$s = file_get_contents($url,false,$context); 

    if (empty($s))
    {
    // Web page empty/access failure
        echo "sorry!";
    }
    else
    {
    echo($s);
}

I'd advice you to check out this on the server..

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   CertificantSearch.CFP.get_bMobile() in D:\2.0Projects\CFPBoard\Certificant\CertificantSearch\CFP.Master.cs:23
   CertificantSearch.EnhancedSearch.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in D:\2.0Projects\CFPBoard\Certificant\CertificantSearch\EnhancedSearch.aspx.cs:151
   System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e) +14
   System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender, EventArgs e) +35
   System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +99
   System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +50
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +627

Since this gives internal error and since you suppress errors on top, it even can't report any errors. And I'd advice using CURL
