I\'m trying to use php\'s file_get_content(\'a url\');

The thing is if the url has \'&\' in it, for example

You should try looking at the CURL libraries in PHP that would allow you to do something like:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://mysite.com/file.php?blah=yar&test=blah");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

You can then get the results from $data.
