Answer 2

There are a couple of ways to do this with PHP. One is to use PHP code, like the HTTP_Client class provided by pear. There are any number of similar classes or libraries of routines floating around that might do what you need, especially if the remote server isn't doing anything complicated. However, probably one of the most tried and true, not to mention functional ways, is to use PHP's support for the CURL library. To use this, however, PHP needs to be compiled with Curl. Curl has a lot of sophisticated capabilities, and is fast compared to a library built purely on top of PHP code.
