Total newbie question. I'm trying to create a web page that will include a 
complete secure page from page from a site where I am an affiliate. My 
goal, eventually, is to put this secure page in a table on one of my pages. 
As the first step, I've learned to embed using Yahoo as an example. But 
when I change the URL from Yahoo to the secure page, I'm getting error 
messages.

The example below (url_test04.php) substitutes XXXs for the affilaite ID 
code but in reality I'm using the right code and it opens normally in my 
browser.

here's what works:

QUOTE

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<?php

$theurl='http://www.yahoo.com';

  if (!($fp = fopen($theurl, 'r'))) { echo 'Could not open URL'; exit; } 
$contents = fread($fp, 1000000);

echo $contents;

?>

</body>

</html>

END QUOTE

But when I change to:

$theurl='https://secure.onlineaccess.net/cart/manage.php?ID= XXXXXXXXXX' ;

I get the following errors:

Warning: Unable to access 
https://secure.onlineaccess.net/cart/manage.php?ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXX in 
/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/url_test04.php on line 13

Warning: 
fopen("https://secure.onlineaccess.net/cart/manage.php?ID=XXXXXXXXXXX", 
"r") - No such file or directory in 
/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/url_test04.php on line 13
Could not open URL

Suggestions greatly appreciated regarding what I'm overlooking.
